Comment 4 Justin Sherrill 2009-06-25 15:49:53 UTC
re-opening as this looks like a different cause as 494884

Comment 5 Partha Aji 2009-06-25 22:59:39 UTC
Basic issue is that rhn-virtualization-host package did not get installed, because it was not signed and that cause the guest installation to fail. Try it with a signed rhn-virtualization-host and it shoudl work..

Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090625.0-i386-embedded-oracle.iso
with rhn-virtualization-host installed 
xen-guest kickstarted and without the Invalid function call error.
