Thanks for filing this. For whatever reason, the log files that Denise requested are not
being created on either of the 2 VMs I've created.
Also, just fyi, the behavior during the installation on the 2nd VM was exactly the same as
the first, that is it did a network install even though it had a valid DVD available.
FYI.

Yes, please do file a bug against anaconda and cc
fedora-virt-maint(a)redhat.com
Thanks for being persistent about this problem :-)
I've taken the time to reproduce here and filed:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/496298
Definitely seems that when anaconda is running under KVM, it isn't
seeing the DVD as a valid packages source.
Cheers,
Mark.
