Comment 2 FuXiangChun 2011-12-07 03:31:15 UTC 
for rhel6.2 host, spice haven't this issue.
Comment 3 Chao Yang 2011-12-30 07:54:02 UTC 
Hit same issue with kvm-83-246.el5, kernel 2.6.18-302.el5.

Additional info:
If choose the second item "Install system with basic video driver", anaconda can be launched and installation could be continued. X window works well after installation finished and guest rebooted.
