[Spacewalk-list] Multiple issues with kickstarting functionnality

Thu Oct 30 17:42:12 UTC 2014

Pierre,

I just received and added in my SW/kickstart.

The same problem that you got, my recommendation is:

1. You can create a new KS adding scripts that you know how work in your
actual ks file

or

2. You can comment line by line and testing, to check if the problem will
persist, so following by this way you will discovery exactly where are the
"possible" problem in you file.

Ps.: Just to add information, don't see "problem" as problem :-), only a
different format to be accept directly in SW environment.

Let me know if was clear in my explanation.

I can help you more, but now I'm very busy! ;-)

B'Regards
