Thanks for your answer, but this is what I already did, using an
existing kickstart file.  When installing, it then stucks after
"Starting dracut initqueue hook", after some timeout followed by a
loop of errors, where (a.o.) it complains about a missing stage2.img.

But in the meantime I found the solution: either add "inst.repo=..."
to the --extra-args or add an "url ..." entry in the kickstart file,
with the base os URL (I guess you have that "url" entry in your ks).
Now it works, both for Rocky 8 and 9.

For CentOS (8 and 9) neither of these extra url's are necessary,
what caused the confusion.  Probably their imstall media are
slightly different.

Anyway, thanks,
