Description of problem: Creating kickstart of Virtualization Type "Xen Para-Virtualized Guest" and base channel RHEL6 x86_64 fails. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spacewalk-java-2.0.2-46 cobbler-2.0.7-37 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Sync EL6 to Satellite 5.6 nohup satellite-sync -c rhel-x86_64-server-6 & 2. Try to create kickstart: Systems -> Kickstart -> create new kickstart profile Base Channel* : Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v.6 for 64-bit x86_64) Virtualization Type: Xen Para-Virtualized Guest Actual results: Selected kickstartable tree isn't available at the moment. Please check cobbler functionality. Expected results: No message. Additional info:
Xen support was dropped in favor of KVM in RHEL 6. The "fix" should be to hide the invalid xen options if this is a RHEL 6 or higher base channel.
