Description of problem: If a kickstart is scheduled over 4hours in advance, it fails. The same kickstart finishes successfully, if running immediately (not postponed). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090730.0 How reproducible: always, I reproduced it 5times with different clients Steps to Reproduce: 1. create new kickstart profile (ks-rhel-i386-server-5-u3 tree, no virtualization) 2. register a i386 client, add Provisioning entitlement, start osad 3. schedule a kickstart with option "Begin kickstart at the next system check in" and make sure, the kickstart finishes successfully and the client is capable of this type of kickstart 6. schedule the same kickstart for the same client with checked option "Schedule kickstart no sooner than:" and set time (current time + 4h15m) Actual results: Kickstart fails. From client remote console: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- loader received SIGSEGV!
