Might want to check your install order, i.e.

## set language.
lang en_US

## set up network configuration.
# network --bootproto static --ip 192.168.0.100 --netmask
255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.168.10.254 --nameserver 192.168.0.1
network --bootproto dhcp

## INSTALL option for cdrom version
cdrom

## INSTALL option for NFS
# nfs --server 192.168.0.5 --dir /exports/7.2_munged/

## load modules.
device ethernet eepro100
device scsi aic7xxx

## UK keyboard.
keyboard uk

etc. etc.

syslinux should be

default ks, and the append ks=floppy

this gives a floppy based boot for a cdrom based install

if your doing CD only then you will need to get the ks.cfg
into the boot.img. Can't see if your trying this one though.

yours a.r.b.

Funny.  I've just about given up on kickstart.  I've tried it on 7.0,1,2 and
consistently get "no install method specified for kickstart" even when using
the cdrom install option.
