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.

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] PXE booting a VMWare server

I am trying to PXE boot a guest server in VMWare and seem to be running into 
some problems. 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.

Thanks

Scott
