If a kernel upgrade changes the first NIC's configuration from "no IP"

Sigh! We were talking about an installation and not kernel changes.
You clearly did not bother to look into
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, for example. Right?
Could you explain how a kernel update can change a network interface
name which happens to be tied up to a MAC address of that interface?
Or you have on hands network cards with identical MACs? You likely
know that you can run into some grief with that no matter what.
Yesterday, after seeing this, I saw two other emails on two other lists,
where people reported their network interfaces changed names.
One on SLED, one on RHEL.
In one case, it was apparently explained by a new driver's failure to
claim the usual eth0.
Once name interface rules were recorded for the first time it take
some work to move those names around. It is possible but for you
"too geek". Shrug! One way or another it was like that for a long
time.
