Does passing nmi_watchdog=0 make the installation pass?

Yes, the minimal installation just finished.

I'll test a full development workstation load next.

Thank you,

Comment 6 RHEL Product and Program Management 2010-07-15 10:21:12 EDT

This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has
been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **
