The problem is you are using the --onpart option which requires the
partition to exist already and clearly it doesn't since are are using
clearpart to remove all partitions.
What you want to do is use the --ondisk option or create the partitions
ahead of time (scripting fdisk) and use --onpart.

Subject: Compaq/HP Proliant and Kickstart
I am having a problem kickstarting a Compaq Proliant w/ a Smart 5i RAID
controller. There is 1 logical RAID 5 volume which I am trying to
install onto. I was successful in manually installing the OS, but the
anaconda-ks.cfg file left in /root is not complete enough to install the
system. Is there a way to turn on a debug mode, or capture where
kickstart is failing?
Anyone have experience with one of these systems?
The error I am getting is:
[Requested Partition Does Not Exist]
Unable to locate partition cciss/c0d0p1
to use for /.
Press OK to reboot your system
[Ok]
anaconda-ks.cfg lines:
clearpart --all --drives=cciss/c0d0 --initlabel
bootloader --useLilo
zerombr yes
part / --size=1024 --fstype ext3 --onpart cciss/c0d0p1
part /usr --size=5000 --fstype ext3
part /var --size=4000 --fstype ext3
part swap --size=2048 --onpart cciss/c0d0p2
part swap --size=2048 --onpart cciss/c0d0p3
part /tmp --size=1024 --fstype ext3
part /apps --size=1 --grow --fstype ext3
