I have a kickstart file created that works great for installing CentOS on
PVM's and now I want to use it for HVM's as well. The problem is that when I
attempt to run the install, it seems to ignore the kickstart and starts
prompting me for all the things I already have specified in the kickstart.
Any idea what I could be doing wrong? Here is the command im using to get
things started:

virt-install --hvm
--location=http://mirrors.liquidweb.com/CentOS/5.2/os/x86_64 --noautoconsole
--file=/dev/XenVol/XenVE2 --name=testvm2 --ram=512 --network bridge:xenbr1
--vnc -x "ks=http://blah.com/client_work/kickstart.txt ip=67.xx.xx.xx
netmask=255.255.xxx.0 dns=208.67.222.222 gateway=67.xxx.xxx.x"

Note: I did modify the kickstart to use "hda" for partitioning versus
"xvda".

Thanks,
Mark
