I no longer have the MAC or HW addrs in ifcfg-eth0. Only in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, and only for name=eth0: # net device () SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="02:67:15:00:01:79", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0" but on reboot, I get the error: Bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. [FAILED] and the ethernet comes up as eth1 and the eth1 line is added to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules Almost as if there is something else that needs changing. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
