<html><body> Last week I tried cloning a VMware virtual machine running RHEL6. In order to keep the new machine from stealing the old one's DHCP assignment, I deleted and re-added the virtual adapter before bringing it up (equivalent to replacing the NIC in a physical server). When I boot a cloned RHEL4 machine, a wizard appears asking to delete the old adapter, and then to configure the new adapter; no such wizard appeared. The new interface showed up as "<tt>eth1</tt>", and I had to manually edit files under <tt>/etc/sysconfig</tt> to configure it. Perhaps it's because I installed the minimal package set plus some server services, no X windows? So no, I haven't seen the OP's exact problem, but the current edition seems less network-change friendly. On the other hand, the overall install process is lightning fast, so maybe what I was doing wouldn't be supported anyway... -- <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top"><td width="345" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">David Lee Lambert Software Developer IBM office ph# 517-391-5236 (T/L 596-5236) cell ph# 586-873-8813 member <a href="http://www.acm.org/">ACM</a>, <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/greaterlansingjug">Lansing JUG</a>, <a href="http://detroit.pm.org/">Detroit.pm</a>, <a href="http://www.mdlug.org/">MDLUG</a> </td><td width="261" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">IBM Global Business Services Michigan Application Services Delivery Center 600 E Crescent Rd, Floor 2 East Lansing, MI 48823 </td></tr> </table> <img width="16" height="16" src="cid:1__=0ABBFD42DFC7F94D8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt="Inactive hide details for Justin Clift ---11/04/2010 09:22:17 AM---On 11/04/2010 08:18 PM, solarflow99 wrote: > Also the networ">Justin Clift ---11/04/2010 09:22:17 AM---On 11/04/2010 08:18 PM, solarflow99 wrote: > Also the networking sets onboot=no <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top"><td width="1%"><img width="96" height="1" src="cid:2__=0ABBFD42DFC7F94D8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> From:</td><td width="100%"><img width="1" height="1" src="cid:2__=0ABBFD42DFC7F94D8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> Justin Clift <jclift@redhat.com></td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td width="1%"><img width="96" height="1" src="cid:2__=0ABBFD42DFC7F94D8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> To:</td><td width="100%"><img width="1" height="1" src="cid:2__=0ABBFD42DFC7F94D8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (Santiago) Beta releases discussion mailing-list" <rhelv6-beta-list@redhat.com></td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td width="1%"><img width="96" height="1" src="cid:2__=0ABBFD42DFC7F94D8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> Date:</td><td width="100%"><img width="1" height="1" src="cid:2__=0ABBFD42DFC7F94D8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> 11/04/2010 09:22 AM</td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td width="1%"><img width="96" height="1" src="cid:2__=0ABBFD42DFC7F94D8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> Subject:</td><td width="100%"><img width="1" height="1" src="cid:2__=0ABBFD42DFC7F94D8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> Re: [rhelv6-beta-list] tests</td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td width="1%"><img width="96" height="1" src="cid:2__=0ABBFD42DFC7F94D8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> Sent by:</td><td width="100%"><img width="1" height="1" src="cid:2__=0ABBFD42DFC7F94D8f9e8a93df938@us.ibm.com" border="0" alt=""> rhelv6-beta-list-bounces@redhat.com</td></tr> </table> <hr width="100%" size="2" align="left" noshade style="color:#8091A5; "> <tt>On 11/04/2010 08:18 PM, solarflow99 wrote: > Also the networking sets onboot=no > to eth0 which seems strange. Has anyone else noticed this? >From (dodgy) memory, I *think* that only happens in virtual machines, and I don't remember what causes it. :/ However, it's definitely possible to configure the ethernet interface with specific details during the setup, and (again from dodgy memory) I think that fixes the problem.
