libvirt users - Aug 2011 - centos6.0 unable to install guests w/ kickstart via virt-install

How does one use virt-install and kickstart ? I've seen others have success
but I've had no joy thus far.
BTW, my interactive virt-installs for centos6 guests work just fine AND I can do
unattended kickstarts for vms by booting from centos6 install dvd and typing the
kickstart commands from the boot: prompt. However, kickstart commands in
--extra-args when used w/ virt-install just don't seem to work for me.

It looks like the kickstart file is just getting ignored ..?

virt-install -n d2 \
? ? ? ? -r 1024 \
? ? ? ? --vcpus=2 \
? ? ? ? -l http://mirror.cogentco.com/pub/linux/centos/6/os/x86_64/ \
? ? ? ? --accelerate -v \
? ? ? ? --disk path=/data/vm/d2.img,size=10 ?\
? ? ? ? --os-type=linux \
? ? ? ? --os-variant=rhel6?
? ? ? ? --network=bridge:br0
? ? ? ? -x "ks=http://10.1.10.2/id400ks.cfg ip=10.1.10.2
netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=10.1.10.1 dns=8.8.8.8"

The above will boot from the mirror and then launch into the interactive
graphical installer as though the kickstart file isn't even there.

kickstart file is here?http://pastebin.com/ZChtv2C5

I also tried 'virsh edit domain' and set cmdline to?
<cmdline>ks=http://10.1.10.2/id400ks.cfg</cmdline>?
and that didn't work. vm would'nt start.

Looks like you're missing some backslashes toward the bottom, so
virt-install wouldn't see anything past "os-variant". Here's
mine
(adding the ttyS0 allows looking at it on the cli with "virsh console"
as well):

virt-install \
   --name=myhost \
   --connect qemu:///system \
   --disk path=/data/virt/guest$$,size=20,bus=virtio \
   --vcpus=2 --ram=1024 \
   --graphics vnc,keymap=en-us \
   --autostart \
   --location=http://example.org/ks/el6/x86_64/ \
   -x "console=ttyS0,115200 ks=http://example.org/ks/myhost.cfg" \
   --network bridge=br0 \
   --os-type=linux \
   --os-variant=virtio26
