Making this bug public. 

Summary:

When performing a RHEL 5.4 Kickstart installation and within the post script section you perform a rhnreg_ks registration of the system a 5.3 Satellite, the registration will fail. The failure is due to two daemons not running within the kickstart environment that we use to query SMBIOS information to determine if KVM host/guest. 

NOTES:
This bug will also likely effect registrations during kickstart to the RHN Hosted (rhn.redhat.com / xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com) environment. 

Customers using Satellite 5.2 or earlier will not hit this bug, since they are not KVM aware Satellites for entitlement consumption. 

Solution:
Within the kickstart post script (%post) before you run the registration command (rhnreg_ks) add these two lines to restart daemons needed to query for SMBIOS hardware information:

/etc/init.d/messagebus restart
/etc/init.d/haldaemon restart

Comment 11 Petr Sklenar 2009-09-17 13:43:30 UTC
verified again
kickstart contains in %post section:
/etc/init.d/messagebus restart
/etc/init.d/haldaemon restart

services are restarted in post on all arch except of ia64 : [Bug 523741] hald stop in %post, system is not registered to satellite after successful ks

moving to release pending

Closing bug. 530 is GA and we somehow missed this one to close.
