That looks pretty much like what I have working. When you're mounting
my.machine.int, are you using an IP address or is that the hostname?
I'd try using the IP in case you don't have name services available.
You can keep an eye on what KickStart is doing by by switching virtual
consoles as usual:
Alt-F1 - installation dialog
Alt-F2 - shell prompt
Alt-F3 - install log (messages from install program)
Alt-F4 - system log (messages from kernel, etc.)
Alt-F5 - other messages
Alt-F3 is especially useful when dealing with errors in your Kickstart
configuration files.
Here's the config I currently have....
# Kickstart to build default CentOS system

# %include /mnt/ks/kickstart/include/kickstart.cfg
