That's anaconda's way of telling you that the disk setup didn't work.
You should probably read this:

https://rhinstaller.github.io/lorax/livemedia-creator.html#kickstarts

which covers converting live spin kickstarts and talks about things that
are required. In general your kickstart should work unattended when
running it with Anaconda in a VM with the boot.iso.

You should also look at the example kickstarts in /usr/share/doc/lorax/

Looks like you are missing:

clearpart --all --initlabel

It starts out with a blank disk, without the clearpart it will not use
the blank disk to prevent accidental data loss on disks with unknown
partitioning.

You should also add the 'shutdown' command to the kickstart to make sure
it shuts down the VM when it is finished.

Good luck!
