Not that this helps, but thank you for making me aware that this layer
exists in Ubuntu land.  I was originally going to say "wha???" until I
found the KickstartCompatibility page [1].


That looks like a valid kickstart, and what you appear to be
describing is a hang or hidden dialog after initramfs.  If that is the
case, what is the call you are making to invoke the kickstart, because
that seems like it might be more of the problem than the kickstart itself.
