Thanks, but I'm not certain that is the case.  It is happening to all three of 
my images (CentOS 5, 6, and RHEL 5).  It happens when there is combination of 
using an activation key with subscribing to groups and/or config channels.  I 
need to try a combination of options and see when it happens.

Subject: Re: [Spacewalk-list] /home missing after kickstart

No but I think I can guess what's going on it sounds like the base image 
anaconda copies to the disk imediatly follow the formatting is corrupt you need 
to get the boot images off of the cds and reload them

I started running into an issue where /home is missing after a kickstart.  If I 
remove everything from the post section, it is still missing.  So, that doesn't 
seem to be the culprit.  If I do a blank kickstart, i.e. no activation keys, no 
groups, no config channels, etc., the /home directory is there.  It seems 
something happens when I try to automatically add an activation key with 
additional options.


The filesystem rpm is installed.  I checked the logs in /root after the 
kickstart and I don't see anything in there that might give an indication why 
this is happening.  All I see is "useradd: cannot create directory 
/home/<user>" and "mkdir: cannot create directory '/home/dir': No such file or 
directory.


I could add an if statement to the beginning of the post section to create the 
home directory if it does not already exist, but I feel I shouldn't have to and 
I'd prefer to find out why this is happening.


This happens on both my EL 5 and 6 kickstarts.  (I am running Spacewalk 1.7.)
Anyone run into this before?
Thanks,Giovanni
