Not sure about splitting the distro and all, but for the kickstart portion,
try this:
default linux
prompt 1
display general.msg
label install
kernel vmlinuz
append ks=floppy initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=9216
Works perfectly with no other modifications.

> 7. Made an ISO image with:
> mkisofs -o ../linux.iso -V 'RH Install' \
> -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \
> -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table .
> 8. Burn the cd with:
