Description Og Maciel 2013-06-20 14:14:32 UTC
Description of problem:

Provisioning a RHEL 5 i386 machine stopped at an anaconda prompt, asking me to enter the Installation Number. It would be nice to add the --skip flag to the default kickstart file to make the boot process non-interactive.

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Provision a RHEL 5 i386 machine using content promoted from Katello
2.
3.

Actual results:

Anaconda prompts to enter Installation Number

Expected results:

skip prompt

Comment 2 Og Maciel 2013-06-20 14:41:00 UTC
Workaround:

Edit the Katello Kickstart Default provisioning template and remove the condition around "key --skip".

Comment 3 Mike McCune 2013-06-21 01:44:15 UTC
moving to 6.0.2

Comment 4 Dominic Cleal 2013-07-17 16:48:16 UTC
The Katello Kickstart Default template does have the "key --skip" option in, but it's surrounded by a conditional statement:

 22 <% if @host.os.name == "RedHat" -%>
 23 key --skip
 24 <% end -%>

The OS name though is a full "Red Hat Enterprise Linux ..." string, which doesn't match the "RedHat" we normally expect in Foreman's config templates.  The reason for this is that Foreman users usually get OS names created based on facts uploaded by Puppet, which for RHEL will report "RedHat" [sic].

I don't think removing this check is altogether a good idea for upstream Katello, since we should support RHEL clones, which don't require `key --skip`.

Comment 5 Og Maciel 2013-07-17 16:55:04 UTC
Is there another field we can use to perform this check? Or is a regex what we want here?

> we want here?

There's no other field, as we're trying to differentiate between RHEL (which has this option) and clones (which don't).  I think this exposes a bigger problem though, which is that when hosts check in, Foreman is going to create new "RedHat" operating systems and reassign the hosts to them.

We might need to disable that behaviour and add a regex, else remove these long names and stick to the basic facter "RedHat" name.

Comment 9 Bryan Kearney 2013-10-03 19:22:41 UTC
with the workaround, moving to 6.0.3.

Comment 10 Ivan Necas 2013-10-07 08:27:15 UTC
Fixed in katello-foreman-engine-0.0.7 and foreman-katello-engine 0.0.14-1

Comment 11 Dominic Cleal 2013-10-09 08:54:41 UTC
Moving back to 6.0.2 as the fixed packages are already included.
