I, too, use pungi to build DVD of F-17 from release repo and update repo.
(Over the past two years I have created at least 15 similar DVD, successfully.)
I see the long time out and eventual failure of no shell on vt2.
I see the Python exception after selecting keyboard.

I decided that I would have to debug it myself,
because anaconda team is pre-occupied with its new UI re-implementation.
It fell to the bottom of my to-do list.
