LVM, yes, many times, but everytime manually installed the OS. This is
the first time I am trying to do that on Kickstart.

That's what I am doing, see my kickstart file.

First time when I started, I did that. Cleared everything from BIOS and
recreated the disk arrays.

This is the first time I am doing LVM in kickstart, but from google I
understand that people do that all the time, but I havent come across
any example on CCISS based systems. PErhaps someone who has done that
can pitch in also.

Regards.
