[rhelv6-beta-list] Kickstart stopping at Installation Method screen

[Prentice Bisbal]

Can you provide more of your kickstart file? The error could be coming
later than what you show.

I can't speak of RHEL6, but I do know that on earlier versions of RHEL,
the anaconda-ks.cfg file generated by a manual install would have syntax
errors that would prevent it from being used for an actual kickstart.
