Please provide a reason why this should be considered a Beta blocker, I don't immediately see that it breaches any criteria. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers

That criterion is really to do with anaconda's methods for _reading_ kickstart files. It's breached if, say, you specify ks=somethingsomething and then anaconda either explodes or fails to read the kickstart. The case where anaconda correctly reads and attempts to process the kickstart, but something about the actual contents of the kickstart causes the installed system not to boot, is really pretty different. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Please state the exact nature of the problem. Where does the boot stop? Attach a screenshot or a log or something.
Discussed at 2012-03-16 blocker review meeting. We agreed that as this seems to be down to the kickstart file itself - or, likely, the package groups specified in it - it does not meet the blocker criteria. We suspect the bug here is that the base-x group is not in fact sufficient to produce a successful X startup. Booting to multi-user.target may well work. We will investigate further. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
This is fixed with the current release F17 GA
