Description Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2013-03-28 08:43:45 UTC

Description of problem:

As reported on spacewalk-list:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2013-February/msg00075.html

I have Spacewalk sitting on a CentOS 6 server, I have a CentOS Channel set up with x86_64 architecture selected.

However, when the Distribution is created from that, It's put into cobbler as i386. When koan kicks up to turn that into a virtual machine, it creates a i386 based KVM VM, and therefore the system cant kickstart because it's a 64Bit OS.

If I go in via ssh and update the distribution using cobbler edit, and change the arch to x86_64, the systems kickstart as expected.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Presumably Spacewalk 1.8.

How reproducible:

Two users have reported the same issue.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above.

Comment 1 Milan Zázrivec 2013-03-28 09:11:53 UTC

Yes, for some reason it seems that we do create the distro in cobbler
as i386 even when the distro alone points to a x86_64 content:

Comment 4 Stephen Herr 2014-07-01 20:06:00 UTC

This behavior has been fixed in Spacewalk nightly as part of the solution for bug 1109276. It should be released in the next version of Spacewalk. I am closing this bug as a duplicate.

This BZ closed some time during 2.5, 2.6 or 2.7.  Adding to 2.7 tracking bug.
