[Spacewalk-list] Internal Server error when trying to create kickstart profile

[Nick Seritti]

Michael, you are correct, late yesterday I was able to track this down in the selinux audit logs. Disabling selinux resolved the issue for the time being, I plan on looking into altering the selinux context once I have the setup completed and running as I feel that it's the more appropriate fix to my issue than simply disabling it. 

Thank you for your help.

It seems to be similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=702274.
Does /var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizard/sl-6-1-test--1.cfg exist?
Can cobbler read it?
Do you have correct selinux context on /var/lib/rhn/kickstarts/wizard/*?
