rhel7 kickstart error "specified format already exists"


Hi, I am using foreman 1.13 to kickstart a Redhat 7 instance. The remote installation works with the below partitioning scheme: (using inst_gpt)

Code:
zerombr
clearpart --all --initlabel
part /biosboot --fstype biosboot --size=1 --asprimary
part /boot --fstype xfs --size 1024 --asprimary
part pv.01 --ondisk sda --grow --size=40000
volgroup os pv.01
logvol / --fstype=xfs --name=root --vgname=os --size=40000
logvol swap --recommended --name=swap --vgname=os
However, kickstart fails with the error "ValueError: specified format already exists", when I use the below partitioning scheme:

Code:
zerombr
clearpart --all --initlabel
part /biosboot --fstype biosboot --size=1 --asprimary
part /boot --fstype xfs --size 1024 --asprimary
part pv.01 --ondisk sda --grow --size=40000
volgroup os pv.01
logvol swap --recommended --name=swap --vgname=os
logvol / --fstype=xfs --name=root --vgname=os --size=10240
logvol /var  --fstype=xfs --size=4096 --name=var --vgname=os
logvol /tmp  --fstype=tmpfs --size=4096 --name=tmp --vgname=os
logvol /home  --fstype=xfs --size=4096 --name=home --vgname=os
logvol /var/log/audit	--fstype=xfs --size=4096 --name=audit --vgname=os




Any idea what am i doing wrong?

Thanks

================================
Fixed: The below partition table works:
Code:
zerombr
clearpart --all --initlabel
part /biosboot --fstype biosboot --size=1 --asprimary
part /boot --fstype xfs --size 1024 --asprimary
part pv.10 --ondisk sda --grow
volgroup os pv.10
logvol swap --recommended --name=swap --vgname=os --grow
logvol / --fstype=xfs --name=root --vgname=os --size=10240
logvol /var  --fstype=xfs --name=var --vgname=os --size=4096
logvol /tmp  --fstype=xfs --name=tmp --vgname=os --size=4096
logvol /home  --fstype=xfs --name=home --vgname=os --size=4096
logvol /var/log/audit	--fstype=xfs  --name=audit --vgname=os --size=4096
