[Spacewalk-list] Problems installing spacewalk server

[Brian Ross]

I am attempting to install spacewalk but have encountered a problem.

I get to the point where the installation program, when using postgresql attempts to restart xinetd and tftpd services. All it does is hang, printing a series of little symbols on the screen continuously. I've let it running for four days and it still didn't go anyway.

The screen dump is:
