I have seen similar issues with the appliance-tools Im working on
(thincrust.net).  On thing I have noticed is that kickstart.py only
likes crypted passwds, so make sure you use the --iscrytped option in
the ks file.

I have also noticed another problem, if you set selinux disabled via the
kickstart and try to set no root passwd, by excluding a rootpw
line in the ks, you get an error similar too:

"only root can do that"

I think this is due to selinux context on the host you are
building the image on.   I saw this running a F9 client on a F9 host,
from your post on Friday, I will try generating a rwahide image on a
rawhide host and see if I have similar results.
