[Gllug] Oddity with virt-install

I'm installing a centos 5 xen guest on a centos 5 dom0, using
virt-install.  I've done this dozens of times before, with the same
kind of recipe:

$ virt-install --vcpus=1 -f /dev/VolGroup00/ha-test1 -p -r 256 -n
ha-test1 --nographics -l http://192.168.0.5/rpms_repo/centos/5/os/i386
-x ks=http://192.168.0.5/rpms_repo/ha-test1.ks -s 4 --force

It runs anaconda, and gets to the point where it says a graphical
installer isn't available; normally a text installer would start, but
it sits there with a blank screen.

I've tried without the kickstart script and manually entering the
values gives the same result.

Any ideas what's going wrong?

The odd thing is this worked fine just earlier today!
