Tested with no network line in the kickstart at all, then again with an
Ethernet cable plugged in -- still hangs identically, which rules out
the already-found missing iwlwifi driver as the sole explanation this
time. Investigation stopped here by user decision, not for lack of a
next diagnostic step (an rd.break=initqueue session was staged and
ready). Fedora has now failed in three independent, structurally
different ways (live+kexec, netinstall, DVD) on this test hardware --
Ubuntu/Mint with the same personalized-ISO test setup is the obvious
next candidate, not pursued in this session.
