Hello, I will assume this is your first time using Spacewalk and kickstarting. Server, while tied into Spacewalk/Satellite is still configured to pull from external repos. You must make a configuration change on the server to stop that behavior. Typically, I have a kickstart snippet that disables external repos. The snippet contains the following (excluding the ==start== and ==stop==): ==start== # Disable all foreign yum repositories allowing only from Spacewalk/Satellite mkdir -p /tmp/ks-tree-shadow/etc/yum.repos.d/custom cat > /tmp/ks-tree-shadow/etc/yum.conf <<'END_OF_FILE' [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum reposdir=/etc/yum.repos.d/custom/ keepcache=0 debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log distroverpkg=redhat-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1 plugins=1 # Note: yum-RHN-plugin doesn't honor this. metadata_expire=1h # Allow only up to 3 kernels to be installed at one time installonly_limit = 3 # PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d/custom END_OF_FILE ==end== Then, if you REALLY need external repos, you put a symlink from /etc/yum.repos.d/custom/<file> to the actual file in /etc/yum.repos.d/<file> Hope that helps _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
