Easier to read trace from serial console:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/libexec/ovirt-config-installer", line 872, in <module>
                         screen.start()

dev_model = device.get_property("ID_MODEL")

Not sure why it worked with -20111006.0 but fails in -20111010.0
there were no changes in that area.

Verified this bug on RHEV-H 6.2-20111010.2.el6 build.
The interactive (TUI) clean install can proceed, and install successful.
