It is a reinstall over an existing system, though I'm pretty sure I did try on a new system as well. The 'clearpart -all' is how you clear partitions with CentOS kickstart? In my SuSE autoyast kickstart file I have this:
<initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize> ## If set to "true", the partition table gets wiped out before AutoYaST starts the partition calculation. During the installation I can see that all of the partitions got wiped out, but during the creation, the old values took place.
