I have had this problem when kickstarting Fedora Core1.  I found that I could 
avoid the problem if I didn't execute the processes section during kickstart.

My kickstart post script now touches a file in tmp that I test for in cfengine 
script and set class kickstart.  Then I use that class to avoid executing any 
actions in processes section.
