That is strange eth0 should come up with dhcp as the default, did you
try to modify /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0? Eth1 should be
bonded to lanbond0 and should not have an ip-address. Are you sure that
what you think eth0, is the same as what the system thinks it is.

Try this, unplug one of the card and run mii-tool, should return the
link state for the cards. If they are reversed, run xs-swapnics, then
reboot, the cards assignment should now be reversed.
