CentOS - Mar 2013 - unexpected 'reinitialize disk?' prompt form anaconda during kickstart with zerombr

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Anyone have any thoughts on why anaconda might be prompting me to
reinitialize the disk during the kickstart of a Centos6.4 install on
hyperV when
a) the kickstart file contains "zerombr" as referred to in the
installation guide[1]
b) installation proceeds with no prompt on KVM hypervisors and succeeds?

I have read the release notes[2]/tech notes[3] for 6.4 and noted lots
of changes concerned with virtualization in general and hyperv hosts
in particular, but I don't see anything that appears to be directly
pertinent.

I did try using the "clearpart --initlabel --all" approach (although
that appears to be removed from 6.4), but I get the prompt with that
as well.

Hi,

There has been a change since 6.3

"The 'clearpart --initlabel' option in a kickstart no longer
initializes
drives in 6.3."

Try something like

zerombr
clearpart --all --initlabel
