This turned out to be a very "nasty" bug.
Our kernel package did not generate modules.{block,drm,networking} lists, which are used by Anaconda scripts to put modules in installer initrd. So the installer image did not have any network drivers. Thus Anaconda did not detect any networking device on the machine and not created /etc/sysconfig/network
