Yes that's it:

Adding "--otopi-environment="OVESETUP_SYSTEM/shmmax=int:68719476736" " works.

I never thought a known issue would crop up so soon, so I just started installing.

Thanks

Hi,

Installing a fresh fedora 19 minimal install and ovirt 3.4 beta got me stuck again. Maybe we should do a bit more QA before releasing a beta?

Perhaps it's http://bugzilla.redhat.com/1039616 ? Mentioned also on
