Where have you placed the ks.cfg file? Have you told the installer
that it has a kickstart file available and it should use it? You
should refer to the sysadmin guide, at:

https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-kickstart2-startinginstall.html

There is a lot more in that guide regarding kickstart installations,
you should go through it all.

That is of course, the RHEL5 manual and you are installing RHEL4. Not
guaranteed to work :)
