[Spacewalk-list] "bad HTTP response code" when kickstarting CentOS 5.2

[Willem Bos]

Hi Adrián,

Thanks for your response. The fqdn is present in the host file of the
Spacewalk server and test failed there. During the installation of the
client there's no shell on VT2 so I'm unable to perform the test in that
stage.

Thanks again,
Willem.
