In using virt-install, and then virt-viewer to create a CentOS 5.5 x64 guest (in my case for KVM), using the text mode for the install, it failed on me in a similar way just if I added extra package groups - just stalled. It went forward successfully if I just went with the standard default at that point, and waited until post-install to yum other components into the guest.
That may be the relevant variable in my case as well; I'll watch more carefully. I did get a >5.5 OS install to work, and I may have selected only the "server" group instead of that and the "server gui" group.
I'm mostly happy using text configs, except I keep running into cases where the manuals or helpful people on the net assume I'm using the GUI, so I've gotten in the habit of installing it when I get a choice.
