Description of problem: This is mainly aimed for KVM and RHEV, but if it works for Xen, then bonus. Currently Satellite only supports guest creation and OS installation. We do not allow you to reinstall the OS once the guest has been initially installed. This request is to allow for the OS reinstallation to occur, as we do today for regular bare metal hardware OS's. A consultant, Dave Russel, manually tested a reinstallation of a guest and it worked without errors. As such, it should be for us to just expose/allow it in UI.

Fixed: a0458ddc5188482e6f912189cac45972ec741315 Xen paravirt guests still aren't allowed for re-provisioning since it won't work (correct me if i'm wrong here). KVM and Xen fully virt should work.
So this is an issue i encountered and fixed in f2ec5bf5e353a6dfbcae0b5efea42ccd7eb87e3f a few days ago. I didn't cherry pick it to satellite.git since it was so late in the devel cycle and it isn't a new issue for 5.4 (it was present in 5.3). Basically the system (or at least a system with the same mac address) is already registered or was registered at some point and a cobbler system record was created for it. If you simply run: for i in `cobbler system list`; do cobbler system remove --name=$i; done the provisioning should work. Cliff do you want me to backport the fix for this. It's a pretty big bug, but already exists in 5.3. -Justin

Yep, That would be a good test. If you really wanted to test, re-register it to a 2nd org for the 3rd installation and try to provisioning from there :} Nothing special needed for the kickstart.
