[Spacewalk-list] OS release not reporting correctly

Greetings Spacewalkers,

I'm having an odd issue and so far haven't been able to figure out the root cause.

I am running Spacewalk V2.2 on Oracle Linux 6.6.   All of my client systems are Oracle Linux 6.x

Today I converted an existing OL6.2 system to Spacewalk and upgraded it to OL6.6.  I use a conversion script that has been deployed on 200+ systems without issue....until today.
This particular system reports as a Redhat Linux system instead of an Oracle Linux system.  In the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid file it clearly shows the Redhat information.  On all my other systems the systemid file shows the Oracle Linux information.

I'm booting to "title Oracle Linux Server Red Hat Compatible Kernel (2.6.32-504.16.2.el6.x86_64)" (from grub.conf) - which is the same as on my other systems.

I'm at a loss to explain and fix this issue.  In all other regards this system is the same as the ones which correctly report themselves as an OL 6.6 system.

Help!  And thank you,
