I've seen this - it's usually indicative of some problem in the partition section of your kickstart config file. I've been having problems myself in using all of the options redhat says you can use in that section. Try testing with a very generic partition section that fits well within the disk size (with space left over) and don't specify --fstype, --ondisk, --onpart, or anything else but what's required and see if that gets rid of the error- - then you can add that stuff in and root out the issue that way. The two options that caused me the most trouble were --ondisk and --asprimary. If you're using those, it's a good place to start.
