Hi, I have been kickstarting a number of machines from our Spacewalk 0.5 server, and I'm struggling to get Fedora 11 x86_64 going. I have created a distribution, by following https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToKickstartCobbler . Mostly that seemed to work; a few oddnesses (eg, under section 1b1c the "with tools" channel did not show in the dropdown list, even though I had created it. It didn't complain when I simply gave it the parent channel).
Now I am stuck during my kickstart, however. I am kickstarting by putting the ks.cfg in the isolinux ISO and mountinng a CDROM. All good. Then, the Kickstart proceeds until I see an error message... Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: VT. Please verify its path and try again. ...Where does it get this "VT"? It must populate /var/satellite/distro-trees for a working Kickstartable channel, because I see ls /var/satellite/distro-trees ks-rhel-x86_64-server-5 ks-rhel-x86_64-server-5-u2 repos ks-rhel-x86_64-server-5-u1 ks-rhel-x86_64-server-5-u3 ...but note there's no Fedora11 in there. How do I get my Fedora 11 to be recognized? Thanks. At this point there does not seem to be a running Linux that will allow me to jump to another console and observe any more detailed error messages... :-( -- -Mike Schwager
