The problem (you don't mention if you figured it out or not) is that the
MAC address will be wrong--one sees the same thing when cloning a VMware
machine.  (Or VirtualBox for that matter.)


If you go into /etc/udev/rules.d and look for the network file (probably
70-persistent-net.rules) you'll see that it will have a line for eth0
(or whatever card) with the original machine's MAC address.  It will
hopefully also have a new one with eth1.  In VMware clones, I just
delete the eth0 line, change eth1 at the end of the line to eth0, and
edit the /etc/sysoconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to bring the
hardware address in line with udev.  (However, I've never had to do it
on more than 2 or 3 at a time, doing it on 300 plus seems like a lot).

Riley: I thought maybe we could have a little spread. Sandwiches,
maybe some ants. Could be fun. 
Buffy: We were talking about a picnic? 
Riley: Oh... so, was that a conversation I actually had or one I 
was just practicing?
