[Spacewalk-list] Unable to create Spacewalk kickstart distribution due to initrd could not be found error.

[Chris Smith]

Don't quote me or anything, but I ran into this too. That is, I had issues
with being able to access files via the http interface that were clearly
present with the correct permissions in the filesystem.

I believe my fix was to disable selinux as, if I remember correctly from my
frustrations, there is a bug with how selinux descriptors are linked to
some files. Where I never found any answers was what causes a file to get
out of sync with selinux and how to do you fix it?

I tried manually changing the selinux permissions to match that of some
files what worked, but never had any successes.

Not saying this is the answer to your problem, but you just jogged my
memory about a similar issue.
