Hi Matt,
I'm not sure I have anything helpful for you, but I'm particularly
interested in problem 1. I've been getting similar issues. One question I have
for you is whether you've included gpg keys for Spacewalk-2010 and EPEL in
your kickstart file. Without these keys, I think some post-install package
installs will fail, which may be part of the puzzle.
Anyway, if you make any progress, I'd be grateful if you'd let me know.
