Thanks for getting back to me, sorry it¹s taken me so long to reply.
I¹ve tried this, and it fails when attempting to add the SLES rpms from
the SLES mounted iso:
# rhnpush --server localhost -u manderson -p 0146Home! --channel
sles11-sp3-cobbler /var/distro-trees/sles11-sp3/suse/x86_64/*.rpm
error: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: rpmReadSignature failed: sigh load: BAD
ERROR: /var/distro-trees/sles11-sp3/suse/x86_64/gcc_c___.rpm: This file
doesn't appear to be a package


# rhnpush --server localhost -u manderson -p 0146Home! --channel
sles11-sp3-cobbler /var/distro-trees/sles11-sp3/suse/noarch/*.rpm
error: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: rpmReadSignature failed: sigh load: BAD
ERROR: /var/distro-trees/sles11-sp3/suse/noarch/yast2012.rpm: This file
doesn't appear to be a package


Google hasn¹t been very helpful. Someone asked this list about it last
year, but wasn¹t replied to. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Mike Anderson
