kickstart install on raid 1?

Hi all,
I am trying to get kickstart to install taroon on raid 1 and it does
not seem to like the ks-cfg file generated by anaconda.

What I did was a minimal install of taroon by hand. This generated
what I would think would be a valid ks-cfg for this configuration.

I then used that as a base to create a ks-cfg with the stuff I want in it.
Unfortunately when I try to use the partition tables info generated by
anaconda it backtraces. If I comment out the partition table info in
the ks-cfg then ks runs normally up to the time it needs the partitions
defined. I then define the partitions manually and the install then
continues to completion. Can someone look at the partition table info
below and tell me what is wrong here? Is taroon on raid 1 even supposed
to work in kickstart?

part raid.1 --noformat --onpart hda1
part raid.10 --noformat --onpart hdb1
part raid.3 --noformat --onpart hda5
part raid.12 --noformat --onpart hdb5
part raid.4 --noformat --onpart hda6
part raid.13 --noformat --onpart hdb6
part raid.5 --noformat --onpart hda7
part raid.14 --noformat --onpart hdb7
part raid.6 --noformat --onpart hda8
part raid.15 --noformat --onpart hdb8
part raid.7 --noformat --onpart hda9
part raid.16 --noformat --onpart hdb9
part raid.8 --noformat --onpart hda10
part raid.17 --noformat --onpart hdb10
part raid.9 --noformat --onpart hda11
part raid.18 --noformat --onpart hdb11
raid /boot --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 raid.1 raid.10
raid / --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 raid.3 raid.12
raid /usr --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 raid.4 raid.13
raid /usr/local --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 raid.5 raid.14
raid /var --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 raid.6 raid.15
raid /tmp --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 raid.7 raid.16
raid swap --fstype swap --level=RAID1 raid.8 raid.17
raid /home --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 raid.9 raid.18

TIA,

Tom
