[CentOS] There was a crash during the distribution installation over PXE using kickstart

Hi.

I configured a remote machine to allow network installation when the
machine is being loaded with PXE.

I'm using an x86_64 desktop.

The installation is almost fully automated with a kickstart file.

I enabled PXE in the BIOS, started the installation and in the middle of
the installation, i got a crash which reported an error.

I opened a bug on this issue:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3394.

Someone, called Tru, kindly gave me the following answer:
from your logs:

 File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1045, in handleRenderCallback
   self.currentWindow.renderCallback()

which was caused by:

Can anyone help me with this issue?
