I am trying to add an efi partition to my working kickstart file.
bootloader --driveorder=sda --append="rhgb quiet biosdevname=0 net.ifnames=0" clearpart --all --initlabel part / --ondisk=sda --fstype xfs --size=20000 --asprimary part swap --ondisk=sda --size=4000 --asprimary part /boot/efi --ondisk=sda --fstype efi --size=1000 --asprimary part /home --ondisk=sda --fstype xfs --size=1 --asprimary --grow
the line with /boot/efi is the only new item other then "removing" --location=mbr from the bootloader line. The install is not working. It stops on the Installation part with selections 1-8. I see no errors on screen - but the selection for "Install source" has a "!" and "error setting up install source" is there. when I goto another console and run fdisk -l /dev/sda nothing shows so my partitions are not getting setup.
What did I miss to setup efi ? Thanks,
Jerry

Can you try it with a smaller size? all of ours seem to have --size=477
part /home --ondisk=sda --fstype xfs --size=1 --asprimary --grow

We keep the --location=mbr on our efi systems.

Rather than try to set the EFI partition, I just put "reqpart" in and let the installer decide when it needs it (and how to do it). I still have "--location=mbr" in the bootloader line and it seems to just do the right thing.
One other thing - you don't have a /boot - not sure if the installer still requires that or not.
Here's an example from a KS I just used on an EFI system (I use LVM so it's somewhat different):
zerombr clearpart --initlabel --drives=sda bootloader --location=mbr --boot-drive=sda reqpart part /boot --ondisk=sda --asprimary --size=1024 --fstype=xfs part pv.1 --ondisk=sda --size=3600 --grow volgroup centos pv.1 logvol / --vgname=centos --name=root --fstype=xfs --size=1536 --grow logvol swap --vgname=centos --name=swap --size=2048
