That last sentence was the key.  I removed the line "part pv.2 -- 
noformat --onpart sda2" and did not make any other changes and now  
the "upgrade" is working fine.  For future reference, here is what  
the relevant section of my kickstart file looked like:

   bootloader --location=mbr --append="rhgb quiet"
   part /boot --fstype ext3 --onpart sda1
   volgroup VolGroup00 --useexisting
   logvol swap --useexisting --fstype swap --name=LogVol00 -- 
vgname=VolGroup00
   logvol /    --useexisting --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol01 -- 
vgname=VolGroup00

Thanks for the help,
Alfred
