[Spacewalk-list] Conflicting Base Channels

Hi all...

Here's a new one for me.  I just setup a new activation key, distro and
kickstart for RHEL 5.4 x86_64... and from what I can tell, it's
identical to my working RHEL 5.3 x86_64 setup.  The kickstart works just
peachy, however, at the registration snippet, I get this error:

=====

Error Message:
    Conflicting base channels
Error Class Code: 63
Error Class Info: Conflicting activation tokens

=====

The following is the cobbler profile:

=====

I see two management keys there.  The latter being my activation key in
Spacewalk... the former being something auto-generated by cobbler (I
think).  If I manually register this host, using the command that's
listed in the post-install portion of the kickstart:

rhnreg_ks --serverUrl=https://apptest-507.wichita.edu/XMLRPC
--sslCACert=/usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT
--activationkey=1-d1cd9c148bfe22fe31d40fcca3372694,1-rhel-x86_64-server-5-4

It fails miserably... with the same error.  However, if I remove the
auto-generated activation key... it works just peachy.  My working RHEL
5.3 kickstart/profile also includes an auto-generated activation key,
but doesn't barf during post-install.

What magic am I missing here?
