Was tying to do an install using Cobbler onto a VMWare guest.
If you use "ksdevice=bootif", we look for the BOOTIF= kernel command line parameter which should be automatically added by whatever boots the system - so, pxeboot or the like. It looks like VMWare's not adding that parameter. The real fix would be for them to correct that. In the meantime, you may want to consider using ksdevice=eth0. That looks to be your only network device.
Hmm... Well, would this be more of a Cobbler issue then? As I believe it's Cobbler adding the ksdevice=bootif option...
Reassigning to cobbler... I'm using Cobbler 2.0.9 on CentOS 5...

I was installing F15-i386 to a qemu-kvm guest running on an F14-x86_64 host using cobbler running on Centos 5.6. This same kickstart works for installing F14-i386 to a qemu-kvm guest on the same F14-x86_64 host without bug. Looks like an F15 issue to me.
Tried the suggestion of Chris Lumens in Comment 3 and went to the Cobbler-Web GUI and under the System Page for this System added the Kernel Option ksdevice=eth0 which made it work without issue.
Closing as not a bug, if you continue to have issues with this please open an issue at the new github issue tracker for cobbler: https://github.com/cobbler/cobbler/issues
