[Spacewalk-list] Provision and Kickstart Xenserver VM from Spacewalk

[Paul Robert Marino]

Sounds like you may have a you could have a problem with cobbler, the
kickstart tree, or your network (maybe a firewall rule or ip v4
forwarding not enabled /etc/sysctl.conf, dnsmasq, etc.. ).
By the way on a side note unless you have a support contract from
Citrix why are you using Xen? KVM has is the standard in <= 6.x.
