Ok, so now that I can create a kickstart profile, I'm trying to get it
to actually work. I've run into a few issues. It initially failed
because pxelinux.0 and menu.c32 were not present in /tftpboot. I'm not
sure if I should have been required to copy them there myself, or if
some automated process is supposed to (if so, it's broken).
So i was able to pxeboot the box and get into anaconda. There, it told
me it couldn't download the kickstart file.
Looking at /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default, I see the following entry
append
initrd=/images/CentOS-5-i386:1:SpacewalkDefaultOrganization/initrd.img
ksdevice=bootif lang= kssendmac text
ks=http://127.0.0.1/cblr/svc/op/ks/profile/CentOS-5-i386:1:SpacewalkDefaultOrganization
Well, the use of localhost in the URL is immediately obvious to me, and
I'm thinking that's the problem. So I edit the default file, change it
to the host name of my spacewalk server, and then try to restart it.
From that point on, kickstart seems to work until it gets to formatting
the partitions, but that's not what this is about (not yet anyway).
The issue is that whenever I edit the kickstart profile and update it,
it changes the hostname portion of the URL in
/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default back to 127.0.0.1
I don't know if I'm just missing some easy config somewhere, but I can't
seem to find a place where this is defined withing the spacewalk web
GUI, as any entry where it seems relevant has my spacewalk server's
hostname. I checked the config files in /var/etc/cobbler, and they also
have the servers hostname defined.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
