Hi Michael, I forgot to mention that I also recreated the initramfs: after several tries just to update it, I deleted the initramfs and recreated it completely. But still the same effect.
Is there a way to manually check the contents of the initramfs, just to make sure that the 70-persistent-net.rules isn’t there?
