Hi
I am trying to use koan to provision an FC8 box - The box is currently
running RHEL5.1 and i can rebuild it to this fine.
If i try to get koan to switch the distro to FC8, this happens on
x86_64 and x86_32, i get this
# koan -s 192.168.12.161 -r

Anyone have any clue as to why this is ?

I haven't seen this, so there's nothing that should be specific to F8
here. The usual things to check -- are all the URLs above reachable on
the box in question?
The error above is coming from a shell script koan writes into
/var/spool/koan while the koan command is being run. You may be able
to find some more information by looking there.
Is it possible that /var is full or something else would prevent the
ks.cfg file from being downloaded to there, or possibly is there no
kickstart file
set for the profile in question (not the default in koan, but it may be
possible if you never set a --kickstart).
Hopefully that gets you started, with a little more info we can probably
get this figured out :)
