Hi,
I'm trying to get the provisioning of KVM VMs using Spacewalk 1.8 +
cobbler working, but I'm having a problem with koan starting the
build. I've defined the virtual bridge in spacewalk to be one (or
several) that exists on the host.
The rhn_check output is the same as if I run 'koan --server
spacewalk.my.domain.somewhere -y node2.my.domain.somewhere:2:test1 -B
br20 --virt'
It seems that network_count is set to TypeNone or something similar
(sorry, I'm not a Python programmer).
Spacewalk is running in a VM on the same VM host (it is vnet0 in the
brctl show output below)
Thanks,
Matt

The error seems to be due to an incompatibility between the koan
version and whatever spacewalk 1.8 is using. In 2.2.3, the "bonding"
field was change to "interface_type", in order to support bridges.
You'll need to downgrade koan to a version that matches the version of
cobbler spacewalk is using.
