At the point in the install where it stops because it can't resolve the spacewalk server's hostname, if I hit alt-F3, I can see more detail of what is happening.
It says reverse name lookup failed starting to STEP_URL URL_STAGE_MAIN - url is http://myswalkserver/ks/dist/CentOS5 trying to mount CD device hda trying to mount CD device scd0 transferring http://myswalkserver//ks/dist/CentOS5/images/updates.img to a fd we don't have reverse DNS for IPv6 yet transferring http://141swalk01//ks/dist/CentOS5/disc1/images/updates.img to a fd ... more like that ("we don't have reverse DNS for IPv6 yet" appears a few more times.) I'm not using IPv6. What gives?
