Frankly, I think it's the "USB is not really supported" issue :-/ -- so far, I've seen 2 problems that disappear if I use a cdrom... - Anaconda dies with a python error before it starts installing RPMs. The error is about an iterator over partitions or disk devices. This happens in graphical and text mode (less often in text mode). - Anaconda dies badly (the computer switches off - kernel hang?) while installing one of the selinux policy packages. It may be an OOM issue. They are somewhat more likely with Via/EPIA systems. However, you point out interesting issues.

Re: XS 05
Hi to all. Thanks Martin for you answer. We have been trying to install the server via the "Kickstart", but that happens when anaconda to start can not do it and the screen turns off. We tried the solution that is in the wiki-press tab and add "text" and nothing happens. One of the ways that we return to the terminal is pressing Ctrl+Alt+2, then Ctrl+Alt+1. Could be the GPU problem? What can be do in these cases? Is there another way to start the installation?

Two suggestions - I think that when the install starts it offers a menu (very early, when the installer is booting).
