It happens during gathering HW info. So if you run it with --nohardware,
you can workaround it.

It is some USB device. Can you run this python script in both %post
section of kickstart and after normal reboot? Check the diferences.
You should look for records with
XXX: None

import gudev
import glib

print "GUDEV VERSION: %s" % gudev.__version__

def print_device(device):
    print "subsystem", device.get_subsystem()
    print "devtype", device.get_devtype()
    print "name", device.get_name()
    print "number", device.get_number()
    print "sysfs_path:", device.get_sysfs_path()
    print "XXX: ", device.get_property('product')

devices = client.query_by_subsystem("usb")
for device in devices:
    print_device(device)


But yeah, having test before that split is probably good idea. I will
put it in master, but this is not worth of backporting to 1.4.
