There's no public GENIVI kickstart because of the additional repositories used. 
MeeGo IVI has a kickstart for Trunk which produces the weekly image files. 
Currently that is iirc 2 images for ia32 targets.
We're working on the demo kickstart to get them into the weekly qa process.

@MeeGo IVI    
is a package group, not a single package. Single packages are just "pkgname" 
entries.
The package groups are defined in:
http://meego.gitorious.org/meego-os-base/package-groups
e.g.:
http://meego.gitorious.org/meego-os-base/package-
groups/blobs/5212e6138b50745a29cc3387e513d2e1a7c9ba98/patterns/meego-ivi.xml

We've no default repositories, so thos "additional" are the real ones.

Those groupse are available in the server-side metadata !

Try: 
git clone http://git.gitorious.org/meego-developer-tools/image-creator.git
or 
git clone git://gitorious.org/meego-developer-tools/image-creator.git
