Fair enough.  I have been working away at it this morning again.  It 
still occurs if I leave the stanza out of the kickstart.  However, if I 
set it to a text install instead of graphical, it zips through without a 
hitch.  I suspect the problem rests in the gui portion of the addon.

I'm happy to get you any additional logs/information you want.
