Hi,
i have SW 1.7 and centos-6.3 provisioning is working fine
however, some steps need to be done:
- there should be child channels with "spacewalk-client" and "epel" repo's
- this child channels should be checked on "ks details -> operating
system -> child channels" (even if they enabled in activation key)
without that, i had same problem - post-install step failing to run all
rhn binaries
