How are you telling Anaconda where to find the kickstart file? You need 
to specify it on the boot commandline, and I don't see that you updated 
the isolinux configuration.

You can test what to enter with your existing CD:
linux ks=ks.cfg
and the variations thereon. The file can be in the initrd file, on the 
CD outside the initrd (inside your virtual floppy or outside, I think), 
on a floppy, hard disk (including, presumably, USB), and then there are 
network options.
