RE: Provisioning Xen from RHN

Yes, all the kickstart trees are there (no RHEL 5.1, but that's another
issue). It's only the provisioning of Xen guests from the trees that's
no longer working and I've since discovered that this is only the case
with the RHEL 5 Xen hosts that we upgraded to 5.1 - the provisioning
still works fine on the hosts that haven't been upgraded yet.

Thanks for the info about the other info sources.

It shouldn't have broken it.  Does your Satellite have:

/var/satellite/rhn/kickstart/ks-rhel-i386-es-4-u5

on its disk?  That is where the tree is located (sans-rpms, they are 
grabbed from /var/satellite/redhat/NULL).

You can find a bit more info about your method of getting the trees on 
our wiki:

FYI, rhn-satellite-users list is where most of the Satellite related 
traffic goes.
