I rebuilt my xen host with the 64-bit OS and am in the process of recreating the guests, both 32 and 64 bit. I use a kickstart installation with virt-install, and so far none of the installation attempts has completed.

Anaconda indicates installation should take about 2-3 minutes, but when it comes to installation of selinux policies, it just sits there, and I have no idea what it's doing. No progress 15 minutes later, and it doesn't make a difference whether I disable or not selinux in the kickstart configuration. What's the best thing to do in this situation?

CentOS 5.4 with all current updates.

More detail.

With the kickstart config I've always used, which includes "selinux --enforcing", I get

audit(1270043018.724:2): enforcing=1 old_enforcing=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 Unable to load SELinux Policy. Machine is in enforcing mode. Halting now. Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

when the installer reboots. The same thing happens when I explicitly add the selinux-policy package to the kickstart config.

When I add selinux-policy and selinux-policy-targeted, the installer hangs on installing selinux-policy-targeted.
