Clients will fetch content from RHN Satellite based on the --url parameter contained within the
kickstart. For example:
url --url http://satellite.example.com/ks/dist/ks-rhel-i386-server-5-u3
If you receive errors from Anaconda stating it can't find images or packages you should first check that
the above URL will generate a 200 response:
wget http://satellite.example.com/ks/dist/ks-rhel-i386-server-5-u3
--2009-08-19 15:06:55--
Resolving satellite.example.com... 10.10.77.131
Connecting to satellite.example.com|10.10.77.131|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK

Saving to: `ks-rhel-i386-server-5-u3.1'
2009-08-19 15:06:55 (0.00 B/s) - `ks-rhel-i386-server-5-u3.1' saved [0/0]
If you don't get a 200 response check the error logs. After checking the base URL you can check the
actual file Anaconda tried to download:
# grep chkconfig /var/log/httpd/access_log

If those requests are not appearing in the access_log file, the system may be having trouble with the
networking setup.
If those requests are appearing but are generating errors, see the previously mentioned log files for
errors.
You can also try manually downloading the files:
wget http://satellite.example.com/ks/dist/ks-rhel-i386-server-5-u3/Server/
chkconfig-1.3.30.1-2.i386.rpm
