Kickstart Partitioning Errors

I've set up a fairly default install of Spacewalk 0.5 and set up a
channel for CentOS 5.2. I've set up a CentOS 5.2 distro for kickstart
and I'm not off to a great start. Perhaps this is just something simple
that I've missed that someone could chime in on.
When I PXE boot with an IDE VM in VMware Workstation, I get the error:
"An error occurred trying to format myvg/rootvol. This problem
is serious, and the install cannot continue."
When I PXE boot with a SCSI VM in VMware Workstation, I get the error:
"Could not allocate requested partitions: Partitioning failed:
Could not allocate partitions as primary partitions. Not enough space
left to create partition for /boot."
Here is the partitioning details from Spacewalk > Systems > Kickstart >
Profiles > CentOS-5-2. I'm not sure where this is stored in file.
partition /boot --fstype=ext3 --size=200
partition swap --size=1000 --maxsize=2000
partition pv.01 --size=1000 --grow
volgroup myvg pv.01
logvol / --vgname=myvg --name=rootvol --size=1000 --grow
