I was also getting this error when trying to provision Xen guest on a CentOS 5.5 host running Spacewalk 1.0:

File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/app.py", line 329, in run

File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/app.py", line 652, in virt

File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/app.py", line 650, in after_download

File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koan/app.py", line 1113, in virt_net_install
virt_auto_boot = self.calc_virt_autoboot(pd, self.virt_auto_boot)
As suggested koan was downgraded to the earlier version in EPEL:
[root at spacewalk src]# rpm -e koan --nodeps
[root at spacewalk src]# rpm -ivh koan-1.6.6-1.el5.noarch.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]

Now everything functions as expected:
downloading initrd initrd.img to /var/lib/xen/initrd.img
