Description of problem: Current default virtualization type seems to be Para-Virtualized host when creating a kickstart profile which will install kernel-xen. It should be either "Xen Para Virtualized Guest" which does the work similar to "none" option that we used previously if we do not use it for virtual machine. This will require some additional note / documentation so that users clearly understand. OR there should be one more "none" option in webui which should map to same "Xen Para Virtualized Guest". In this case no note/documentation is necessary. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090220.1-i386 How reproducible: Create kickstart profile. Check virtualization options. Actual results: Para-Virtualized host as the default option. Expected results: It should be either "Xen Para Virtualized Guest" with explanation note or "none".
Also need to add a NOTE: to the GUI explaining better what the type is used for: NOTE: The virtualization type is used if you are using this Kickstart Profile to create virtual guests. If you are not planning on using this Kickstart Profile for Virtualization you can just leave the selection at the default value. NOTE: If you select Para-Virtualized Host RHN Satellite will automatically setup the machine to be ready to host Xen based virtual guests
Also, on the Details page for a profile we see KVM popping back in. Need to filter that for Sat.
Máirín, Can you take a look at bug description and suggest what seems to be the right thing to do in this case? ~SayliK

We need to keep any changes simple for v5.3 as we are way late in the cycle to make any significant ui changes. Let's just add the "None" option, and propose the re-work for v5.4. -Todd
