Vinay,

   In my experience Kickstart will always fail in the manner you describe if either:

  a) a package name is misspelt

or

  b) that package is not in the current distribution.

 

 

Since what you have worked previously I suspect the latter - look at your package list and also look at the AS2.1 release notes to see what has changed names / been depricated.

 

You might even want to post your packages list for others on the list to comment.

 

Yours,
Daniel.
