Comment 5 for bug 810068

As I emailed to Colin earlier today this is because kickseed is omitting the datatype part of the kickseed config when performing the conversion from kickstart -> preseed.

eg

ks.cfg:

iscsi --ipaddr=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx --target=iqn.1992-08.com.xxxxx:xxxx --port=3260

should be translated to:

d-i partman-iscsi/login/address string xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3260

but the "string" part is missing so preseed ignores it.

you can check this by dropping to a shell in the installer (alt+f2) and running

  debconf-dumpdb|grep iscsi

which will show you which preseed commands succesfully made it into the database. if address shows as (null) then it didnt work!
