I've never done one of them - so I wouldn't know. Maybe that
is where the problem is?
So are you telling me you do a fresh installation AND an
update all in one go?
I think it's best to do the initial installation and then
reboot the machine to run from the kernel you have just
installed. There maybe things that need to be setup during
the first boot that are being missed if trying to do to much
from the kickstart install media.
You might like to check out my Auto Linux Installer scripts
here:

On centos 5.6 I use them to do a minimal kickstart
installation that sets the machine up. Then the rest of the
installation is completed from another ALI script.
Plus you can automatically setup the system services
using these scripts.
