This bug is still around but not in the same sense. If you specify a 'kernel option' or a 'post kernel option' that is not a key=value pair, spacewalk+cobbler actually passes it as: key= for example, i want to specify 'latefcload' and 'nostorage', but i'm acutally passing 'latefcload=' and 'nostorage=' +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #481320 +++ Description of problem: Setting kernel options or post kernel options for a kickstart doesn't work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set kernel and post kernel options at 2. Click update kickstart Actual results: Both options are blanked out, and are not obviously stored and used anywhere. Expected results: Options should still be visible in the webui, and subsequent installs using that kickstart profile should include those parameters. Additional info: --- Additional comment from johnh.ac.uk on 2009-01-23 10:37:02 EDT --- More info definitely required. I was trying "vnc vncpassword=foo" as the post kernel options, but it won't let you have a single word as an option, it was name=value. Is this just the wrong place to be doing it? --- Additional comment from cperry on 2009-06-23 13:32:25 EDT --- I think this was resolved by a recent commit. Assigning to Partha for review. --- Additional comment from paji on 2009-07-15 22:19:38 EDT --- Yeo SHould be resolved.. --- Additional comment from msuchy on 2009-09-10 08:05:12 EDT --- Spacewalk 0.6 released --- Additional comment from mrudel on 2009-10-15 16:37:58 EDT --- this does not appear to be fixed in 0.6 if you specify options such as: nostorage latefcload in the 'kernel options' portion of the kickstart profile, it actually passes them to the install kernel like this: nostorage= latefcload=
Amending component to Server.
This issue is related to cobbler rendering the template incorrectly. Spacewalk is passing the options accurately to cobbler. A patch has been sent to the cobbler upstream and that should resolve the customer's issue. Check https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/cobbler/2010-March/005463.html for more info.
This bug has been fixed in Spacewalk 1.0. Closing.
