I'm running into a few problems using the built-in method.
First, we were running into this bug with RHEL4.6 kickstarts:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?&id=385161
Not sure if we would want to try and correct that or handle it in some way,
but depends on how gluey mpdehaan wants to make Cobbler :) We're currently
just using our own snippet which wget's the bootstrap file from the RHN
server and executes it, which works flawlessly.
Second, when a system is registered, it shows up as the name "unknown" in
Satellite, despite having the --hostname set. As far as I can tell, this
is due to the fact that the network service isn't restarted after the post
network config, the "hostname" command isn't run, and/or the IP has no
reverse lookup set in our DNS. I'm betting adding a "hostname $hostname"
to the post config snippet would fix this, but I wanted to ask before
playing with this to see if it's (probably) something I'm missing or doing
wrong.
