I saw kudzu behaving like this when installing rc1 (+ the AFS-related 
selinux changes in %post) on a Dell Precision 380. What it detected as new 
was at least the chipset (wonder what kudzu has to configure for that 
anyway) and the onboard sound. I think there was a third device, but I 
don't remember. I won't be able to do another test installation before the 
weekend.

My system didn't freeze though, whether or not I allowed kudzu to 
"configure the new hardware".

I also successfully installed the same on a Dell Poweredge 2850 (with 
PERC4 RAID) and a custom test system with an intel 925X desktop board.
These have no console though, so I don't know how kudzu behaved during 
1st boot. We usually turn it off in %post anyway...

But if it's considered important, and the 4.2 release can wait until next 
week, I'll check.

I guess there really is some mismatch between what's detected during
installation and during the first reboot. This may or may not be a 
showstopper.
