This is a problem because intel hw does not provide big real mode, and
expects software to handle it. Gfxboot causes the installer to stop at
the gfx boot screen. According to #kvm, suse has a patch in gfxboot that
detects kvm install and does not attempt to use big real mode, and
allows things to get past this issue. The problem with -no-kvm installs
is that it is _very_ slow.

Note, this affects xen guest installation as well.
