I don't see anything obviously wrong.  Here's the isolinux.cfg stanza 
that we use for kickstarting RHL9 via a local http server:

default ks
prompt 1
timeout 40
label ks
   kernel vmlinuz
   append ksdevice=eth0 ks=http://10.4.0.42/pub/redhat.9.0/ks/ks.cfg 
initrd=initrd.img text

Our machines have either dual 10/100 NICs or dual GigE NICs.

Differences between what you have and what we use:
  - order of the ksdevice option
  - kickstart file is named ks.cfg
  - initrd option

You might want to play with some of those options.  In any case, let us 
know what you discover.
