So, does anyone have any other suggestion how to
prevent udevd from renaming eth0 to em1?
Do you have 71-biosdevname.rules in either /etc/udev/rules.d or
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d ? I expect that would run after the persistant name rule
and reset things.
I actually have the opposite issue in that I want to use the biosdevname
names, since eth0 and eth1 have been getting assigned randomnly for a while
now on one of my machines and the renaming ability of the network initscripts
seems to have gone away.
Hi Bruno,
Actually, one of the fedoraproject bloggers said that the renaming is being done
by the biosdevname package. So I uninstalled it and rebooted, to no avail.
So as of now, I have neither the biosdevname package, nor it's corresponding
rules files.
Then some other blogger suggested adding the line
biosdevname=0
into /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
which I did and rebooted, to no avail. That was followed by
another OP's suggestion to make an entry into
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules like
# PCI device 0x1039:0x0900 (sis900)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="edited-out",
ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0",
ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
which I did, and rebooted to no avail.
So, the only recourse I have left is to try and download the source code of
udevd to see where and why it is renaming eth0 to em1.
What release are you running? I don't match this to fc16, fc17, or rhel6. You
must have a pretty old release, because you mentioned old style output from
ifconfig, no colon after the device name.
