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

[David]

Hello Chris,

     So after playing around I decided to mount the installation ISO and 
use that directory as the tree path for the distribution channel. I was 
able to create the distribution, even with selinux set to permissive. I 
did try to see if I could do this with selinux enforced but I  couldn't 
reach the spacewalk landing page. I think that parts on me because I 
mucked up the configs on this server. The question I have is why is 
behavior different when mounting the ISO vs using a dedicated directory? 
I feel like it should work more or less the same, can anyone shed some 
light on this?


Thank you,

        David
