Are you sure your ksdevice is eth0? 
could it be i386->eth0 and x86_64->eth1

/usr/share/doc/anaconda-10.1.1.37
...
ksdevice        Takes one of 4 types of argument which tells install
                what network device to use for kickstart from network:
...
                - An argument like 00:12:34:56:78:9a indicating the
                  MAC address of a specific interface
                - The keyword `link' indicating that the first
                  interface with link up
...

ksdevice=00:0c:29:14:3a:c5 or ksdevice=link ? 

Cheers,

Tru
