Making this bug public. Summary: When performing a RHEL 5.4 Kickstart installation and within the post script section you perform a rhnreg_ks registration of the system a 5.3 Satellite, the registration will fail. The failure is due to two daemons not running within the kickstart environment that we use to query SMBIOS information to determine if KVM host/guest. NOTES: This bug will also likely effect registrations during kickstart to the RHN Hosted (rhn.redhat.com / xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com) environment. Customers using Satellite 5.2 or earlier will not hit this bug, since they are not KVM aware Satellites for entitlement consumption. Solution: Within the kickstart post script (%post) before you run the registration command (rhnreg_ks) add these two lines to restart daemons needed to query for SMBIOS hardware information: /etc/init.d/messagebus restart /etc/init.d/haldaemon restart Cliff
verified again kickstart contains in %post section: /etc/init.d/messagebus restart /etc/init.d/haldaemon restart services are restarted in post on all arch except of ia64 : [Bug 523741] hald stop in %post, system is not registered to satellite after successful ks moving to release pending
Closing bug. 530 is GA and we somehow missed this one to close.
