OK, temp fix found… The problem is that the “network_config” snippet has a hardcoded interface name of 'eth0' in the line: network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --onboot=on ...which was getting incorporated into the final rendered ks file.
The temp fix was to make a copy of this snippet, named it "network_config_f20" in my case, setting the 'eth0' to be 'em1' in that line, and then make a copy of the "sample_end.ks" (which I simply named "f20.ks") that calls the "network_config_f20" snippet in the "# Network information" stanza, and use the f20.ks as the kickstart file in my fedora 20 install profile. Once this was done, the install proceeded normally. Now how to dynamically set the proper interface name in the "network_config" snippet remains future work at this point, but at least the problem was located...

Anyway, Cobbler server network interface is em1. In the grub menu of client, there isn't my cobbler system "test". Just the default profile. After "cobbler system edit" command, I execute "cobbler sync" command. Did I forget something else ??

When I launch client, all is ok until an anaconda error : UnknownDeviceError. You can see below anaconda report in attachment. Line 21, interface network name is eth0. But in ifcfg.log it's em1.
