[Spacewalk-list] problem provisioning a VM through spacewalk

[Bill Gunter]

Ah, yes, sorry, I was misinterpreting what's happening in the code. 

Anyway, I've tried both an HVM and a PVM and get the "Invalid function 
call attempted" for both. Here's the error for a PVM:

D: handle_action{'action': "<?xml

This is OK, it's just an unnedded import (I removed it now).

Calling  kickstart_guest.initiate() by rhn_check translates to
calling initiate() from /usr/share/rhn/actions/kickstart_guest.py

Do I understand correctly that you're trying to create a fully virtualized
xen guest?
