Try this in your kickstart file:

Without the '--interpreter /bin/bash' the code will (I think) be
interpreted as python. Also, when you run 'yum update' you are
prompted to confirm that you want to go ahead and update the listed
packages, and so you need to pipe 'yes' through it.
thanks for the response - with regard piping yes through to yum it
seems you can just specify yum -y update and this will anser yes for
you.
the interpreter bit is now causing the end of the kickstart to bomb
out with the error of '/usr/local/bin/bash can not be run' as this is
where bash is it seems. This is the %post bit of the kickstart
%post --nochroot --interpreter /usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/bin/yum -y update
Firstly, try it without the --nochroot as this switch makes the code run
in the install system environment rather than chrooting into the newly
installed system. Even if the commands worked, packages would be
installed into the temporary file system in memory rather than onto
disk. Secondly, it shouldn't be /usr/local/bin/bash unless you have
installed a custom bash package. However, you should be able to use
'--interpreter /bin/sh' to use the Borne shell instead of bash.
Does the -y switch also answer yes to importing the GPG key? If not,
you will need to import the key prior to running yum.
