Description of problem:
I have used a kickstart to install F17 Alpha x86_64 from DVD. It contained:

%packages
@base
@base-x
%end

The result is that the final system a) doesn't boot to X b) doesn't show any login prompt on any tty c) some weird tool "Text Mode Setup Utility" is started during boot.

Screenshot of the system is in system.png. You can see a Text Mode Setup Utility overwritten by further boot messages. You can't use your keyboard to control that tool.

I have grabbed the tool in full, this is how it looks like:

Text Mode Setup Utility 1.19.11                      (c) 1999-2006 Red Hat, Inc.

Full serial console output is also attached.

My guess is that some required packages are missing from base-x comp. Or that this Text Mode Setup Utility broke the boot, but I have no idea what it is and why it runs.

Additional info:
Proposing as F17 Beta blocker due to this release criterion:
"In most cases (see Blocker_Bug_FAQ), a system installed according to any of the above criteria (or the appropriate Beta or Final criteria, when applying this criterion to those releases) must boot to the 'firstboot' utility on the first boot after installation, without unintended user intervention, unless the user explicitly chooses to boot in non-graphical mode. This includes correctly accessing any encrypted partitions when the correct passphrase is supplied. The firstboot utility must be able to create a working user account"
