New anaconda problem

I recently downloaded the latest update CDs for WS v3 and created a new
bootable CD from the boot.iso image.

I am trying to build the machine via kickstart from a floppy.  It goes
through an start the X server, then instantly exits.  The console shows
the following output:

1...2...3...4...5... X server started successfully.
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1042, in ?
     instClass.setInstallData(id)
   File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py", line 1218, in setInstallData
     self.readKickstart(id, self.file)
   File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py", line 676, in readKickstart
     if handlers[args[0]]:
KeyError: Kickstart
Install exited abnormally


It then proceeds to shutdown the machine and says I can safely reboot
it.  I've used this kickstart file on other machines with identical
hardware with the original WS v3 CDs.  This only started happening after
I downloaded the new CD images.  Any ideas?
