Just to rule out two stupid possibilities: (1) Does /ks.cfg really exist in the initrd? (2) Does it work if you use ks=file:/ks.cfg? Note the lack of extra slashes there.

"#xz --format=lzma initrd.img.xz --decompress" doesn't work for me. What I can see is the file size was increased after executing "#echo ks.cfg |cpio -c -o >> initrd.img". I uploaded the initrd.img which should contain the ks.cfg. > > (2) Does it work if you use ks=file:/ks.cfg? Note the lack of extra slashes > there. No, the result is the same.

Oh, I was just thinking that you could switch over to tty2 (which should always have a shell on it now) and verify that it exists. No need to do anything too tricky.

No, there's no ks.cfg found. So it's not anaconda issue but the way "echo ks.cfg |cpio -c -o >> initrd.img" doesn't work?
That's what it looks like to me.
