yes I have and that didn't help either. The background for this is that we previously used a self written tool that would dd images to the drive which worked fine but if the geometry of the disk was different it would end up in a wierd state where the partition table had many small unused partitions and it makes the kickstart installer think it is a corrupt table and prompts for ignore or cancel. so the zerombr and the clearpart don't make a difference.
