First the 'grub' line in the kickstart should have been 'grub2', otherwise
even though yum installed grub2 due to obsoletes, appliance-creator thinks
grub1 is used.

Second, the kickstart *must* contain

  part biosboot --fstype=biosboot --size=1 --ondisk sda

Otherwise you'll get further errors like


/sbin/grub2-probe: error: unknown filesystem.
Auto-detection of a filesystem of /dev/mapper/loop0p1 failed.
Try with --recheck.
If the problem persists please report this together with the output of "/sbin/grub2-probe --device-map="/boot/grub2/device.map" --target=fs -v /boot/grub2" to <bug-grub@xxxxxxx>
Unable to create appliance : Unable to install grub2 bootloader
