Huh. OK, so either ask Anaconda developers if this is expected
and if there is a way to workaround it (some kernel option which
forces this mode), or try if cobbler can prepare new profiles
for you:

# cobbler profile add -h

Not sure if it would be possible to use Spacewalk channels as
repos for installation :-/
