I have this same error, however when I try to access the KS URL to download the Kickstart file

Comment 2 Philipp Rusch 2009-05-18 13:01:31 UTC
The same problem at my site and it is really annoying.

Comment 3 Jason Czerak 2009-05-18 13:16:42 UTC
On the kickstart prfile,  under system details and details, do you folks have either of the spacewalk configuration or remote control check boxes checked?

when I had them checked is when I seen this error. Once I removed those check boxes, I was good to go

I'm using OEL 5.2. i've found I'm forced to use a custom KS script due to the fact that OEL fails in providing a working RHN client lib

Comment 4 Philipp Rusch 2009-05-18 13:26:36 UTC
I have tried out your hint and it works. Without the ticked check-boxes the cloning process works very well.

Mass-moving to space13.

Comment 6 Miroslav Suchý 2011-04-11 07:33:03 UTC
We did not have time for this one during Spacewalk 1.4 time frame. Mass moving to Spacewalk 1.5.

Comment 7 Miroslav Suchý 2011-04-11 07:37:00 UTC

Aligning under space16.

Comment 9 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2011-07-25 16:42:01 UTC
The code in question has changed a lot since this bugzilla was filed. Could you check if the problem persists in Spacewalk 1.5?

I assume the thing works now. Closing as CURRENTRELEASE.
