You are making this too hard. As I replied previously this can easially be
done without modifying the src. Depending on the vedrsion of RHL you are
talking about there are a couple of options. The first option is to specify
ksdevice=eth0 on the kernel boot line. AFAIK this works from 7.x on up to the
present. If we are talking about RHL9, RHEL3 or fedora is to use ksdevice=link.
Both work. No src modifications necessary.

HTH,
