Looks like you are missing a few things. I'm assuming you already have at least one ESX server. Look at the /root/anaconda-ks.cfg file, and edit that, if you have nothing else to go with.

Can you please post the entire contents of your KS.cfg? Or is that all?

For a good generic example, use the built in Kickstart generator on ESX web access. If you can not do this, ping back, I will post an example.
