Description of problem: The kickstart option "Leave the existing system profile in place, but do not re-connect to it. Instead, create a new system profile." under /rhn/kickstart/SystemDetailsEdit.do?ksid=<ksid> does not actually guarantee creation of new system profile during re-provision of the already registered system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): spacewalk-backend-1.1.42-1.el5 spacewalk-oracle-1.1.6-1.el5 spacewalk-schema-1.1.19-1.el5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. register any system (for which you have prepared KS profile with option3 - see above) to your SW 1.1 2. Entitle with "Provisioning" 3. Do kickstarting from UI 4. Check the "Systems" list of SW for newly prepared system. Actual results: There is done re-registration of the system but not creation of the new one (as promises the option checked in the System Details->Details) Expected results: The system should be provisioned as a *new* system in the SW. The old one should remain. Additional info:
Should be fixed as of http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spacewalk.git;a=commit;h=ba4646b43ef403b8d6e3a36012e85fd507026a9c
If you select "Leave the existing system profile in place, but do not re-connect to it. Instead, create a new system profile" A re-activation key will not get generated, and thus causing a new profile to show up.

Spacewalk 1.1 has been released.
# VERIFIED With the current latest packages (from iso: Satellite-5.4.0-RHEL5-re20100818.0-x86_64.iso) there is possible using the 3-rd option, "Leave the existing system profile in place, but do not re-connect to it. Instead, create a new system profile.". So the test prepares just another copy of the system and gets it registered/entitled to the Satellite.
The 5.4.0 RHN Satellite and RHN Proxy release has occurred. This issue has been resolved with this release.
