I would probably suggest to run an interactive anaconda install that reasonably closely matches the options you desire. This should give a working installed image that contains a corresponding working /root/install.ks file. Compare that to the ks virt-builder is using and bisect the differences. > Something (systemd? dracut?) asks for a root password in order to get > to the emergency shell, and I can find no way around this nor any > password which works.

The main ks rules that all look sane enough. It feels like that dracut invokation in %post is most likely thing to be causing a problem.
