Let me guess, there was a setting of the network parameters in the
kickstart file? I got around that by changing the git command in %post
to not do a checkout for eth0, just for eth1, letting the anaconda
version of ifcfg-eth0 remain on the system. The only result is that the
ifcfg-eth0 file doesn't reference /etc/sysconfig/xs_network_config, for
it's external network info. 

Martin, what is the usage of having the XS in server role other than 1?
Perhaps going forward we should just manage eth1, using the available
tools on the os to allow users to set eth0 in a more "normal" way.
