This is a bug in the F7 install kernel. When running in nographics mode it still sends boot output to the graphical console instead o the text console.
Add '--append console=xvc0' to the virt-install args when doing a nographics install of Fedora 7. FC6/F8 get the text mode stuff right - only F7 is broken in this respect.
Couldn't find a bug in Red Hat Bugzilla for this - hasn't this bug been reported yet? I experienced the problem too on Fedora Core 7 on x86_64.
There no point filing a BZ. It is impossible to fix it, since the problem is in the images/xen/vmlinuz from the master install tree. We never change the install kernels post-release so there's no way to fix it in F7. The only option is to append that arg, or use F8 instead.
