Anything that says "Beta" isn't a base channel (afaik).  The base
channels (for entitlement purposes) are just named "Red Hat Enterprise
Linux WS/ES/AS", and if your entitlement list is like mine it's so long
that those show up on the second page.

I've seen this before, and always ended up (a) deleting the system from
rhn, then (b) re-registering it with up2date --register.  Maybe there's
a "better" approach, but this one is expedient, and has always worked.  ;-)
