Oracle doesn’t make it easy to not use their [broken] kernels.  I’ve been 
extracting the .iso release media into a separate directory, moving the UEK 
rpms out, regenerating the repository data, and pointing the installs at that 
directory.  And because I do have some requirements for UEK, I’ll import those 
RPMs into a channel.  When necessary, subscribe the new client to the UEK 
channel (this can be done in a kickstart file….) and install the UEK kernel 
rpms.

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk Kickstart and Oracle UEK

Hi all. Does anyone know how to have only the Redhat Compatable Kernel install 
and not the UEK? I tried the parameter to remove kernel-uek and 
kernel-uek-firmware but it's still the default kernel. I also added kernel and 
kernel-firmware thinking that maybe it needed the rhel compat kernel defined 
during the KS. But still my final system defaults to having the UEK booted.

I'm probably missing something very simple so I thought I'd ask.

Thanks!
