[Spacewalk-list] Swalk 2.0 rhnreg_ks = "No module named hardware_hal"

[Lee Roth]

I've finally been able to revisit this issue; still having original problem.

Spacewalk V2.0 on Centos V6.4 64-bit server, attempting to
bootstrap/register a Centos V6.4 32-bit client to the server.

Here is full text of bootstrap attempt:

----------

[root at xyz]# bash bootstrap.sh
Spacewalk Server Client bootstrap script v4.0

Here are the rhn packages that are installed:

[root at xyz]# rpm -qa | grep rhn
yum-rhn-plugin-2.0.1-1.el6.noarch
rhn-check-2.0.1-1.el6.noarch
rhn-client-tools-2.0.1-1.el6.noarch
rhnsd-5.0.13-1.el6.i686
rhnlib-2.5.65-1.el6.noarch
rhn-setup-2.0.1-1.el6.noarch
rhn-org-trusted-ssl-cert-1.0-1.noarch
[root at xyz]#

My initial attempt to bootstrap failed as the Centos V6.4 (as built by
someone else) did not contain the file "/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks", so I did a
"yum install rhn-setup" in order to obtain that file. It installed the
dependent packages of:

  rhn-check.noarch
  rhn-client-tools.noarch
  rhnlib.noarch
  rhnsd.i686
  yum-rhn-plugin.noarch

Thanks you for any advice!
