Description of problem:
When scheduling a system to be re-provisioned grub.conf is modified so that the system will boot into new kernel+initrd pair and will start the installer. The way this kernel entry is configured can lead to errors in some cases.

Currently the default kernel entry is duplicated with all of its parameters and then parameters needed for provisioning are appended (like ks=http://, kssendmac, etc.). There are 2 issues with that:

1) Parameters like root=/dev/VolGroup/LogVol and rd_* (for dracut) are present but not really useful to anaconda. They are ignored and should not affect the installer. In some cases however those can lead to errors because anaconda can read fixed command line length (255 characters I think) and the important parameters be left behind or incomplete (for example incomplete kickstart URL).

2) The other thing is that if the default kernel entry has broken configuration it will be copied to the entry for provisioning and this will cause it to fail.
This can be easily reproduced when entering ks=link instead of ksdevice=link in the kernel options in the webUI. Then schedule the provisioning, fix the mistake and re-schedule again. The 2nd entry resulted in lots of duplicate parameters along the wrong ks=link

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.4.0
koan-2.0.3.1-11.el6sat.noarch.rpm

How reproducible:
Always

Expected results:
The safest way is to generate kernel parameters from scratch. This is to say: 
vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img ks=http://... kssendmac ksdevice=link <user defined params>
