OK So I tried your suggestion no joy.  Installed i manually.  Took the
kickstart file from this install, and tried to use this as the install
kickstart.  It failed.  I deleted all the partitions and tried again no
joy, the default ks is  as follows:-

 #version=DEVEL
# Use network installation
url --url="http://192.168.0.156/CentOS7-x86_64/disc1/";
# Use text mode install
text
ignoredisk --only-use=sda,sdb
# Keyboard layouts
keyboard --vckeymap=us --xlayouts='us'
# System language
lang en_US.UTF-8

# Network information
network  --bootproto=dhcp --device=enp0s31f6 --ipv6=auto --activate
network  --hostname=localhost.localdomain

# Root password
rootpw --iscrypted
# Do not configure the X Window System
skipx
# System timezone
timezone Australia/Sydney
# System bootloader configuration
bootloader --append=" crashkernel=auto" --location=mbr --boot-drive=sda
autopart --type=lvm
# Partition clearing information
clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=sda,sdb

%packages
@core
kexec-tools

%end

%addon com_redhat_kdump --enable --reserve-mb='auto'

%end

Should I need to change anything to this ?

Thanks
