SUSE-12.3 weirdness

I'm trying to get autoyast working with OpenSUSE-12.3.  The actual OS
installation seems to work fine, but after the reboot (when it does a
bunch of post-install stuff), its consistently hanging at:
Preparing System for Automatic Instlallation
Install required packages
Checking for packages required for runlevel ---> 33%

Or more accurately, it just stalls.  The system isn't hung, I can
switch between virtual consoles, but the actual installation never
progresses at all.  Load is 0.00.

I started poking around in the newest log in /var/log/Yast2, and I see
the following at the bottom of y2log:

##########

It seems like maybe its unhappy about something related to the
runlevel?  My autoyast.xml has the following:
#########
<configure>
        <runlevel>
           <default>3</default>
        </runlevel>
#########

Is this no longer supported?  The last version of the documentation
seems to suggest that its still valid:
http://users.suse.com/~ug/autoyast_doc/configuration.html#CreateProfile.Services

As a side note, is autoyast still being actively maintained?  All of
the links on Uwe's website ( http://users.suse.com/~ug/ ) don't have
any references to 12.3, and the OpenSUSE Yast Autoinstall wiki page is
now gone ( http://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Autoinstallation ).
