[Spacewalk-list] IPv6

[Lachlan Musicman]

Hi

In the advanced options network line, I pass the var --noipv6

Yet when I log into my newly kickstarted machine, I'm seeing this in the
/root/:

ks-rhn-post.log

inside which I see what looks like the results of the default snippets

First is the successful transfer of the packages and files needed for
registration with the spacewalk server: libxml, libxml2-python, rhnlib,
pyOpenSSL, RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT.

But then I get this, which is both an obvious attempt to use ipv6 (against
my wishes) and is causing issues that I think is flowing on to other parts
of the kickstart process (like the non transfer of the correctly configured
configuration channel files, etc):

Running in chroot, ignoring request.

So, there are a list of questions, but here are the main two:

- I pass --noipv6, and I have config management disabling ipv6. So either
the advanced options flag --noipv6 doesn't work, or there is a part of the
installation process for which it doesn't apply?

- How can I stop this attempt to hit the network, or alternatively, how can
I get it to use ipv4?
