Kickstart fails mounting nfs source

Are you able to run tcpdump/snoop on the nfs server to see if the 
kickstart process attempts to connect.  You could test the NFS mounts 
via booting Disk 1 into rescue mode and manually attempting to mount, or 
by starting the install with the "linux askmethod" mode and then 
verifying the mount points by selecting an install via NFS.
