I'm having problems with virt-install and using kickstart files. I'm using kickstart files to automate installs and the install always seems to fail with the following errors:



WARNING Did not find 'console=ttyS0' in --extra-args, which is likely required to see text install output from the guest.
...
ERROR [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/ks.cfg'
Domain installation does not appear to have been successful.
If it was, you can restart your domain by running:
virsh --connect qemu:///system start kickStart
otherwise, please restart your installation.


I'm not sure if this is error in virt-install command syntax or if the partitions on the virtual machines are not being mounted correctly. I could really use some help Identifying the problem.
