I think we're not talking about quite the same thing. I first create a custom iso from the stock CentOS iso using the createrepo/mkisofs tools, including just the set of rpms that I need. I then turn that iso into a bootable USB image. When I boot a system with that image, it performs a hands-free install of the custom CentOS image I've created. My kickstart script assumes everything needed is included on the USB stick. There can be no references to external repos for example.

I think perhaps what I need to do is figure out how to include the OpenVZ kernel in my createrepo process, replacing the stock kernel that gets included in my custom iso. Then the lines

%packages --nobase
@core

in my kickstart script would automatically select the OpenVZ kernel since it would be the "core" kernel in my custom iso.

Then again, it's early here and I might not be thinking straight yet... Smile
