New to spacewalk and am struggling with a problem.
I'm trying to create a 'common denominator' kind of kickstart file for
CentOS7 that I can clone and add activation keys to as needed to bring
in various packages and config channels as may be needed for hosts
having various roles. On the ks file I'm trying to build, I would like
to have:
config management
osad
ntp
The ks file I have so far has two keys on it. The first is a universal
default key that has provisioning, config file deployment and one group
assignment. The second key I call centos7-base-key which has
provisioning, config file deployment (redundant?), one config channel,
one group, and these packages:
ntp
osad
rhncfg
rhncfg-actions
rhncfg-client
some of which spacewalk itself put there.
Also, I would like the client to point only to my spacewalk sever for
packages and updates, but I'm not at the point of worrying about updates
yet. I'm just trying to get these few things working first.
So I install bare metal and config management fails. The GUI shows me this:
Client execution returned "Fatal error in Python code occurred [[6]]"
(code -1)
Packages Scheduled:
rhncfg
ntp
rhncfg-client
rhncfg-actions
osad
I see this at the end of /root/ks-rhn-post.log:

and another such trace for for repo: updates/7/x86_64.
What's going on? Why is the client looking to mirrorlist.centos.org for
anything? Where does this configuration reside?
'yum repolist all' returns:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, rhnplugin
This system is receiving updates from RHN Classic or Red Hat Satellite.
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
repo id repo

centos7-x86_64 CentOS 7

epel7-centos7-x86_64 EPEL 7 for CentOS 7

spacewalk23-client-centos7-x86_64 Spacewalk Client (N) for
CentOS 7 (x86_64) enabled: 23
repolist: 16,428
which are the local channels I thought would cover the five packages
above and their dependencies.
The install process does leave files in /etc/yum.repo, but since I don't
want them, I remove them in the %post. Those files were:
CentOS-Base.repo
CentOS-CR.repo
CentOS-Debuginfo.repo
CentOS-Sources.repo
CentOS-Vault.repo
CentOS-fasttrack.repo
But I've had this failure with or without these files. I guess it could
be a network problem, but still, why does the client look to a mirrorlist?
What am I missing? Is this a RTFM issue?
I'm running spacewalk2.3 on fedora 21. Any help at all would be appreciated.
