Description Partha Aji 2010-03-30 17:24:26 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #529277 +++

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:

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?

I think this was resolved by a recent commit. Assigning to Partha for review.

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.

Hold the horses. This is a Satellite bugzilla, not Spacewalk one. Reopening, adding block of sat600-triage.
