I really recommend that you start with a known good packer template or at least a known good Kickstart file.
If you install a vm manually centos will write a Kickstart file in /root for whatever settings you used. But best is to fork a well known project like github.com/chef/bento and adapt their packer templates to your needs in small steps.
