Hi Lanae,
Usually it should work with mac address. Anyhow, there are two ways
to change the ksdevice value:
1. set noderes.installnic from "mac" to "eth0"
2. if you want to patch it, the ksdevice value is set during the nodeset
command. (rintall calls rsetboot, nodeset and rpower). You can look for
/opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_plugin/anaconda.pm file line 1422 and below.
Hope it helps.

Subject: [xcat-user] RHEL7 and ksdevice
I'm running xCAT 2.8.5 on SL6.4 master, imaging a centos 7 image. When I
issue an rinstall command, the ksdevice in bootparams table for the node
gets changed from an interface name such as eth0, to the mac address of
that interface. My workaround for now is to quickly edit the resulting pxe
file to fix the ksdevice value before the file gets used.
But I would like to know where in the code to look for the origins of
this, so we can try to patch it.
