Help with Kickstart on FC7

I am having great difficulty trying to load FC7 via kickstart on a new 
server.    Here is the process I have followed:

  1) Loaded FC7 on the server via Live-CD with no issues.
  2) Copied initrd.img from server to my DHCP/tftp kickstart server 
along with vmlinuz
  3) Created new ks.cfg for this server based on anaconda.cfg from /root 
on server
  4) Booted the server.

  The results:

  1) I can see my kernel and init.img files downloaded to the new server.
  2) Vast amounts of information displayed on console ending with the 
following:

      RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
      grow_buffers: requested out-of-ranger block BIGNUMBERHERE for 
device ram0
      isofs_fill_super:  bread failed, dev=ram0, iso_blknum=17 block=...
      No filesystem could mount root, tried: iso9660
      kernel panic ...

     I have tried loading additional modules into initrd.img but no 
joy.  Any and all thoughts are greatly appreciated!
