[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk Kickstart and Oracle UEK

[Andreas Dijkman]

Hey Glen,

I’ve added these few lines as kickstart-post-script in OL7 to use the RHCK-kernel as default, also after reboot and kernel-package-update!!

## RHCK as default
sed -i 's/=kernel-uek/=kernel/' /etc/sysconfig/kernel
grub2-set-default 0
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

The /etc/sysconfig/kernel-part should also work on OL6 but you have to tweak the grub.conf manually in OL6.

As Avi already mentioned, the kernel-uek-package is a dependancy-issue but the /etc/sysconfig/kernel-tweak uses the RHCK as default, even if UEK is installed. I just leave the kernel-uek-packages installed but use the RHCK as default under OL7.

Kind regards,

Andreas Dijkman

I tried the parameter to remove kernel-uek and kernel-uek-firmware but it's still the default kernel. I also added kernel and kernel-firmware thinking that maybe it needed the rhel compat kernel defined during the KS. But still my final system defaults to having the UEK booted.
