Hi,
I've setup Spacewalk 0.5 on CentOS 5.3. After having run into several
bugs and reading the mailinglist, I've stalled on solving the following:
- After a client has updated it's packages, it still reports that it
requires updates.
I read that this would be solved in a future update to spacewalk-backend
and spacewalk-java. I have however found no later package than that of
the 13th of april.
This is still OPEN in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=496655
- cobbler+kickstart don't work when installing from bare metal. I've
setup a channel, a distro using that channel and a kickstart file using
both. To create the channel I downloaded all the packages from the
centos base repository. Because this doesn't include the pxe vmlinuz and
initrd.img files, I copied them from CD and pointed spacewalk to those
files (when creating the distro? I can't remember).
glad to hear you cleared this one up.
Anyhow, after the installer boots and anaconda starts, I get the
following error
"Unable to read metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata
directory................. can't find repository: anaconda-......."
So I'm missing the repodata directory. That's right, I just downloaded
the packages. So I createrepo-ed the directory containing the RPMs, but
to no avail.
Any idea what's going wrong here?
Couple questions:
* What does the "Tree Path" field say on the Kickstart -> Distribution
page in your GUI?
* Does that path have underneath it a tree-path/repodata directory? So
if your Tree Path is:
/var/lib/repo/centos-53/
you would want to see:
/var/lib/repo/centos-53/repodata
The above sounds like you ran createrepo from within the RPMs directory.
Try running from the same dir as your 'Tree Path'.
