Description of problem: sat 5/7.1 build on rhel 5. recreate: 1. register a rhel 4 or rhel 5 system 2. create a regular (non xen/kvm) ks profile 3. kickstart the box results.. hangs at the very end after starting rhnd work around, console in and reboot expected results: kickstart completes speaking w/ Justin, one of the snippets is waiting for some data. cobbler/snippets/post_install_networking_config looks like the prob is around line 100 w/ modprobe and the interface name
So this was fixed upstream in cobbler (commit 93bb34c0), need to track it down and see why it's not in webqa.
To clarify the steps to reproduce: 1. Register a RHEL 5 machine and set it up as a virt host (making sure that the xen kernel is booted) 2. Try to re-provision the machine. 3. %post section will hang

verified 5/21.1
Followed test plan from Comment#2. (I re-provisioned the xen host twice - once to achieve virt host (1) - 2nd time to do step (2) Successfully re-provisioned a xen host in both cases. Machine didn't hang and after every ks it was ready to use. Right after ks: # uname -r 2.6.18-164.el5xen # xm list Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s) Domain-0 0 878 2 r----- 27.9 Stage validated -> RELEASE_PENDING
