Hello all,

I am receiving the following Python exception when running
Fedora 13 Kickstart installation:

anaconda 13.42 exception report

DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include:
the remote application did not send a reply, the
message bus security policy blocked the reply, the
reply timeout expired, or the network connection
was broken.

Here is the Kickstart file we are using:

http://scripts.mit.edu/old-faithful.txt

It appears to get past the disk partioning stage before getting stuck.
We are running Anaconda inside Xen with a somewhat special network
setup (eth0 for public network and eth1 for private network), I can provide
more configuration details if you want.

Googling did not indicate anyone had seen this particular error before.
Installing the server manually is fine.

Cheers,
Edward
