*From:*Kaj Niemi [mailto:kajtzu@xxxxxxx] *Sent:* 29 January 2012 01:40 You did not mention which rhel version you are using but interfaces on dells in rhel 6.1 will show up as em1, em2, etc. by default instead of eth0, eth1. Both dell and redhat mention it in their docs. Pretty soon I’m going to have to start updating the software I develop and maintain for RHEL 6. Apparently, I’m going to have to rewrite the entire set of perfectly-working network code because many (but not all) of my customers use Dells. What’s the best place to keep up with changes like this - to learn not just what they are, but the reasons for them and the lists of exactly what hardware combinations produce which responses in the OS?
Read Linux related news sites :) Iirc there were quite a few reports about biosdevname. See Matt Domsch's blog: http://domsch.com/blog/?p=455 Matt works at Dell which explains the Dell focus. A good way of keeping up is by tracking Fedora's New Features page of the upcoming Fedora release on Fedora's wiki. Fedora is usually the first to pick up new stuff which can/will end up in RHEL (CentOS) as was the case for biosdevname. Just run Fedora on your desktop and test your RPMs on your desktop too. If your software uses SysVinit: on Fedora it has already been replaced by systemd which probably will find its way to RHEL at some point since it was developed by a Red Hat employee (Lennart Poettering).
