Description of problem:
When installing Fedora 13 I see error this in the serial console when retrieving install.img:
"error 2 reading header: cpio: Bad magic"

Example screen:

In graphical install this error is still seen, but only the first two letters of it (see attachment).

The error doesn't seem to be causing some problems, it just looks bad.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
13.42

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. virt-install --name Test --ram 512 --arch=x86_64 --disk /dev/vg/virt_Test,size=15  --os-variant fedora13 --location http://download.englab.brq.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/13/Fedora/x86_64/os/ --extra-args "console=ttyS0 serial lang=en keymap=us ip=dhcp ipv6=auto vnc" --nographics
