Yes, I'd take this up with kickstart-list if you are having problems
configuring static IP's.
You said: "This leads me to believe that there must be additional
kernel options not mentioned in the documentation "
I really doubt it, though it's hard to tell what's going on just from
your email. I would take this up with kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx as
networking setups do come up there quite a lot. I've also created a
Google search engine for it here that turns up a lot of threads on the
subject
of static IP configuration ...

If you can't find an answer, you could also boot DHCP and just use the
kickstart to configure the static configuration, or you could
also use DHCP reservations for IP assignment (which cobbler makes quite
easy to handle with manage_dhcp enabled).
