Used the video camera to catch the error..
Everything goes fine (all centos updates + downloads) until it tries to 
build asterisk (2nd phase install) and it immediately fails stating we 
don't have the sources for kernel such & such.

I suspect the kernel is being updated somehow in the install but it is 
not updating the source code either to a changed or unavailable Internet 
resource.
Fairly obvious this is what is going on.. for some reason at compile 
time we do not have the kernel source that it's expecting.
This seems to be a completely hands-off install so there no way to stop 
it or go verify what packages are installed or updating etc..
It just fails (in about 1/4 second) and immediately exists the script 
and turns you over to a login prompt with an already unknown set root 
password.
