No, you don't want to use KVM guest (or anything else for that matter). Just leave that dropdown set to "none" for VMware. Let it treat it like any other physical server. I have dozens of VMs that I have PXE kickstarted this way and it works just fine. You will have to create your VM in vcenter (ie. Spacewalk won't create the VM guest for you), but once you have it built and on the correct VLAN it should PXE boot (assuming that's all set up correctly) and install from your KS profile.

I have set the Visualization Type to KVM Guest, which am assuming is correct. As for the other settings, Memory, CPU's, and Disk Space; are they set when you create the template in VMWare or is it overwritten by the settings in the Spacewalk profile? Also, what should be the variable used in the Virtual Bridge setting? The default virbr0 does not seem to find the network after the stage 2, as it looks as though it can not find the install tree.
