Creating VM from kickstart file, hangs in single user mode


I'm running Centos 6.4, and am having issues with loading a VM from a kickstart file. It seems to run just fine, and then eventually boots into single usermode. After I changed the root password, I rebooted it and it goes back to single user mode. When I log in as root, and type init 5, it gets stuck on Enabling Bluetooth devices:

I'm not too sure how to get the gui to run. Any ideas?

Code:
part swap --size=1000
at first glance this is missing the "--fstype swap" arg.

Code:
shutdown
probably mean reboot here eh?

add "logging --level=debug" to this KS to catch more info about the install.

Hmmm I'm not sure. I got this KS script from a book and it's supposed to boot right up. I'll make those changes and try again. I'll let you know what I get in a bit. Thanks!
