Yes. Kickstarting works. Well, the first part works:
It installs the base system from the distribution image and then the
spacewalk post installation script runs:
- it registeres the system to the spacewalk server - works
- it runs rhn_check to do the actions assotiated to the activation keys
  - this step fails

Both package sources are active: the software channels on the spacewalk
server and the yum repositories.
I do not want to use these yum repsoitories because I'm using spacewalk
and I have all the packages in my software channels.

For some reason rhn_check (and yum) try to contact the servers in the
/etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo files before trying to retrieve the packages
from the spacewalk server.

If I disable or delete all the repo files then it works as expected.
