snack is the ncurses wrapper for displaying the text mode "tui". Its complaining that its progress bar is being passed a floating point instead of an integer. Seems like an odd error to get at this point in the RHEL 5 life cycle. If this process was fine on 5.6 then likely a change they may have implemented in the anaconda code between 5.6 and 5.7 might be the culprit. I'd run it up the flag pole w/ bugzilla or support. They'll probably want a copy of your kickstart and such because if this was that easily re-producible I'd hope it wouldn't have made GA.
