small custom CD issue/question

I have built a custom CD and ks.cfg file to do an automated install and
setup. It's a fairly stripped-down package set with the Core and Base
groups and a few additional individual rpm's. The only odd thing is
that when it's done and returns to the "Complete, press <ENTER> to
reboot" screen, pressing <ENTER> does nothing. I have to
<CTL>+<ALT>+<DEL> to reboot. I'm hoping that someone has seen this
behavior before (and figured out what caused it!)
Below are the isolinux.cfg file and ks.cfg files.
Thanks in advance!
