Hi at all,
after the update to Spacewalk 0.6, I' ve a serious problem with
rhnreg_ks during kickstart. Before the update, during kickstart of
Centos 5.3 [i386-x86_64], I registered the workstations with
bootstrap.sh script. The command inside the script is:
/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks --force --activationkey 1-centos5-i386
After the update, when the script run this command, it receives an
exception:
An error has occurred:
dbus_bindings.DBusException
See /var/log/up2date for mare information
and content of the file /var/log/up2date is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks", line 216, in ?

rhnreg_ks tries to get smbios informations from dbus, but during
kickstart process, the system doesn't run it. Looking in rhnreg_ks
sources and devel mailing list, I suppose the problem is related to this
patch:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01451.html
with rhn-client-tools 0.4.24 (spacewalk 0.5), without the patch, I
didn't have this problem. If I try to add and disable the option
supportsSMBIOS in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date, ( like trac revision of
file root/client/rhel/rhn-client-tools/etc-conf/up2date.config on
05/18/09 15:54:45), but rhnreg_ks completely ignore this option, and I
don't know why !!!!! I think it happends, because it's forced to be 1 by
the function workaroundMissingCaps(self) in the file
/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/capabilities.py.
I find a workaround by modify the line:
"registration.smbios": {"version" : "1"}}
to
"registration.smbios": {"version" : "0"}}
in /usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/capabilities.py. Anyboby knows a more
elegant solution for this problem ???
Thank you in advance,
Marco
