Anaconda is unable to load kickstart files when kicking new host. WEBrick gives following error:

Started GET "/unattended/provision" for 10.21.96.90 at Wed Oct 03 14:21:08 -0700 2012
Processing by UnattendedController#provision as HTML

So its failing to remove it's old puppet certificate. Which there souldn't be one, its baremetal/brand new box. Following on this, here's the log from /var/log/foreman-proxy/proxy.log:

Obviously running from command line gives same result as smart-proxy had.

[root@lxforeman1 ~]# /usr/sbin/puppetca --clean lxtest1.local.com
err: Could not call revoke: Could not find a serial number for lxtest1.local.com
Could not find a serial number for lxtest1.local.com

It looks like the error in WEBrick comes from foreman/app/models/orchestration/puppetca.rb where it tries to delete the cert. As a work around I'm creating the certs by hand with 'puppetca generate lxtest2.local.com'. I found this in [[http://theforeman.org/issues/1529]]

Either creating a new host in the web interface needs to create the initial puppet cert or calling the kickstart file shouldn't fail if the cert doesn't exist. Not sure which is best solution.
