[Fedora-xen] FC6 Guest install Hangs - broadcom?

[Matt Mankins]

Hi.

I have a fresh install of FC6 (2.6.19-1.2911.6.5.fc6xen) dom0 running  
on 64bit install, unfortunately I can't seem to get any domU guests  
(all same OS) to install, they hang after the "network setup" screen  
of anaconda.

I've tried {virt-install,virt-manager (gui), xenguest-install (what I  
used previously on fc5)}, using nfs mount of 64 bit install dvd fc6.   
All seem to hang right after the network setup screen, when I enter  
the network parameters manually (not dhcp).  Here's a screen capture  
of what it looks like:

(notice the weird A at the top right).

--> Extra bits:  I have three machines that all exhibit the same  
behavior. 2 are Dell 1950s and one is an 1850.  All are 2 dual  
cores.  16GB Ram. File backed for now.  I've applied the Broadcom  
network fix to make the network behave ( http://mywiki.ncsa.uiuc.edu/ 
wiki/Dell_PE1950_NIC_Firmware_Workaround ), only I guess it's not.

Does any of this ring a bell?  Did I not completely fix the  
broadcom?  I'm not sure what to look at... the log files seem clean,  
but I can post if that would help.
