Description of problem: I created a ks file to install RHEL5beta2, this ks file works well for i386 platform, but it doesn't work for x86_64 , the installation hung at 75% finished(while installing rpm-4.4.2-33.el5-x86_64) . are there any differeces of kickstart installation between i386 and x86_64 ? Attached is the screenshot when the installation hung. Following is my kickstart file: ----------------------------------- text key CS keyboard us lang en_US langsupport --default en_US en_US network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp nfs --server=10.66.0.87 --dir=/tmp/virt/install_media rootpw 111111 skipx firewall --disabled authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 selinux --disabled timezone Asia/Shanghai bootloader clearpart --initlabel autopart firstboot --disable halt %packages @admin-tools @base @base-x @core @development-libs @development-tools @editors @gnome-desktop @gnome-software-development @text-internet @web-server @x-software-development PyXML elfutils-libs elfutils rpm-build ----------------------------------- How reproducible: install RHEL5 beta2 server for i386 and x86_64 using the above ks file

Do you see any error messages on tty3 or tty4?
it seems a package dependency problem? Any way, I checked with the latest RHEL5 build and changed the "%packages" to a smallest set of packages and this issue no longer exist.
