Booted with loglevel=debug and syslog set and also am using logging
--level=debug in my kickstart file.
I don't really see anything too informative in the debug output though:

Perhaps it should normally stop at networkdevicecheck? The
documentation seems to imply that if the kickstart installation
requires networking but no network configuration has been provided in
the kickstart file, then it is assumed that both the installer and the
installed system should acquire its IP address via DHCP.
So it seems my only option will be to either specify the network
information inside the kickstart file or to not use the network to
install the system which would then prompt me for network information.

This is different than the behavior in RHEL4/CentOS 4. I guess I will
take this discussion to the kickstart list for now.
