Apparently with using virt-install, it no longer passes in the kickstart

--virt-bridge=br0 --system=vmsl6rolling

and so no kickstart. Is this a known issue? It should pass:

Can you try --virt-type=kvm? That's a new type introduced recently so
that it will use kernel accelerated qemu. Another user ran into this
and changing the type to kvm fixed it (and made his vm's run faster
too).
There is a definite bug in koan for qemu types right now that appears
to have slipped in with this patch.
