I remember what problem you're talking about. It was plymouth issues[1].

[1] For F15, F16:

The below will resolve it :
---
bootloader --location=mbr --append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 rd_NO_PLYMOUTH"
---
Reference ks: http://kashyapc.fedorapeople.org/virt/fed-minimal.ks

Alternatively, if the guest was already installed *with* plymouth:

Masking plymouth-start.service using would do -- "ln -s /dev/null
/etc/systemd/system/plymouth-start.service"

I always ensure test with serial consoles. If the above sounds reasonable to you, I'll try
send fixed KS files for each Fedora distro accordingly.


Thanks for your response.
