While I'm not 100% sure, I think you may be able to accomplish this via
boot parameters
'man bootparam' shows that ethernet devices can be assigned based upon
IO and IRQ:
ether=irq,iobase[,param_1[,...param_8]],name
ether=0,0,eth1
This would, of course, require you to know the io address and the
interrupt but it sounds doable.
If you decide to go this route I'd be curious to hear how it works.
Cheers,

Hello,
I had a query from a customer who has four network interfaces in his
server and while doing a kickstart, he want interfaces with
particular MAC addresses get assigned the name eth0, eth1 etc..
ie.. He wants the interface with MAC '00:14:5E:B3:56:F4' be eth0,
interface with MAC '00:14:5E:A7:0B:B8' be eth1 and so on..
I was only able to locate the directives for the 'network' section in
kickstart, specified below. Are there any directives available to
configure MAC addresses or is there a work around for this.
The only way to do configuration that kickstart can't do directly, is
to write the configuration files yourself from a %post script
%post
cat <<END > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR= 00:14:5E:B3:56:F4
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
END
cat <<END > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR= 00:14:5E:A7:0B:B8
IPADDR=192.168.1.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
END
