Taking over for investigation.

Comment 2 Jan Pazdziora 2007-05-03 09:22:06 UTC

I've now retried this with redhat-advanced-server-i386 and Satellite 5.0.0-28 --
both the kickstart cfg URL, and the whole kickstart of RHEL 2.1 work alright,
both and bare metal and an auto-kickstart (initiated from the WebUI).

Thus, let us assume that this got fixed in the meantime and I'm thus closing
this bug as CURRENTRELEASE.
