Hmmm... ok then.  Any idea why I can't get the system registered using
the registration string in the kickstart, which includes both keys, ala:

rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://<myserver>/XMLRPC
--sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
--activationkey=1-28ef2e19220231062d6ab036e00ddf38,1-037880d329934283fd3264f97aa33317

The above string is what I see in my kickstart when I look at it via the
UI, however, if I look at the "cobbler.ks" file on the system after it
installs, the "other" activation key in the command above is completely
different... as if it's being generated randomly for each build. ala:

rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://<myserver>/XMLRPC
--sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
--activationkey=1-037880d329934283fd3264f97aa33317,1-bc356b33a64a3b6c422a35a9bc019a7d

Either way, I don't seem to be able to register until I remove the
"other" key and use just my chosen activation key.

Any thoughts?  I'm confused.
