My problem is that kickstart/anaconda does not seem to recognize the onboard Intel PRO/1000 (e1000.o) chipset and add the alias entries to modules.conf file. I have modified the initrrd image to include the module and updated related information like pcitable etc. So, my questions are:

My guess is it's recognised (or not) by Kudzu, based in what's in its
hwdata file. Check the contents of /usr/share/hwdata/pcitable against
the information lspci provides.

A quick fix would be to add the relevant statements to modules.conf
yourself in the %post section:
echo >>/etc/modules.conf 'alias eth0 e1000'
and if necessary, built the ifcfg-eth0 script too.

Note that the echo statement is based on the assumption you run the
%post script chroot (the default) to the target system.
