Just wanted to update the list on a success.

Try removing /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
(created by udev it recognizes things like mac addr
which is probably different).
You might want to remove 70-persistent-cd.rules
as well, since it will be looking for a specific
cd/dvd drive which probably isn't the same either.
All fixed now. I had to wait to schedule another time slot to take my
mail server down.
Interestingly these files had two entries, the old and new system's
vaules. For NET I had:
# cat old-70-persistent-net.rules
# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line.
# Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 (rule written by
anaconda)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="00:50:8b:71:9d:da", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",
NAME="eth0"
# PCI device 0x8086:0x2449 (e100)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="00:02:a5:d2:ca:35", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",
NAME="eth1"
After moving the file, putting the drive in the newer system and
powering up I had:
# cat 70-persistent-net.rules
# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line.
# PCI device 0x8086:0x2449 (e100)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",
ATTR{address}=="00:02:a5:d2:ca:35", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",
NAME="eth0"
So it seemed that the process was adding the new card in as eth1, when
there WAS no eth1. But the interface was not working, eventhough
'ifconfig -a' showed it there. Niether 'ifup eth0' or 'service network
restart' got it working. Took another reboot, and then it worked.
And yes, there was also a change in the CD drive discription...
THANKS!
