Hi Urs,

I just did a quick test using the LiveCD (media hash value checked). I
booted it on a KVM guest (KVM host is RHEL-6). It looked fine, so I
went ahead and tried to install it. Then it failed with the following
error:

anaconda 13.21.239 exception report
Traceback (most recent call first):

    self.currentWindow.renderCallback()

I'm not sure if this is related to the fact KVM was used. I'll run
more test and see if I can reproduce it. As said, this was a "quick"
test.
