Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Since going to 2.6.24 my wired lan changed from eth0 to eth1. It starts as eth0... but then changes to eth1. udev rules hard sets it to eth0. For the heck of it I deleted 70...network... and it recreated it with eth1, I changed manually to eth0. still have the problem. modprobe.conf had an alias for eth1, changed it to eth0, no difference. removed modprobe alias. no difference. sysconfig as written by kudzu made it eth1, changed to eth0 and stopped kudzu from running. still persists to becoming eth1. THERE IS NO REFERENCE TO ETH1 in any file and yet upon boot... it CHANGES from eth0 to eth1!!! Where else in the system does something cause this effect? I have googled "eth0 becomes eth1", "nic changes name" both with and without 2.6.24. Every response referse to the udev rules in 70-presistent-net.rules. Any ideas to resolve or debug this would be appreciated.
