If you want to kickstart from Spacewalk, I highly recommend reading
through https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToKickstartCobbler.
The examples are from Fedora 9, so it requires a little adaptation, but
not much. I'm afraid it's a bit more complicated than just creating a
channel and saying Go! :-)
I haven't tried kickstarting RedHat directly. Recent Fedora requires a
little trial and error to see what packages you have to add to the
kickstart to get it to register, but those packages may be included in
RedHat by default.

Hi:
Is it possible, with the RedHat 6 installation media, to create a
channel within Spacewalk that you can use to kickstart a RH6 system?
What I have tried is to create the channel and then do a RHNpush of
all the RPM from that CD. However when I tried to kickstart using that
channel, anaconda complained that it couldn't find the repond.xml.
After ignoring that it then complained about "Unable to read group
info from the repositories. This is a problem with the generation of
your install tree". This issue I couldn't ignore.
I figured the rhnpush method wasn't valid so decided to try and use
spacewalk-repo-sync. Again, mounted up the installation media and tried
spacewalk-repo-sync --channel rhel-server-6-x86_64
--url=file://mnt/cdrom/Server
But that again complained that it couldn't find the repond.xml.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
