Hi.
Ive got a weird problem here and hoping someone can give me a solution,
or point me to some docs that show how to resolve this.
I have a system that I have built that I use as a base for all my other
boxes. (think stage 4)
I tar it up, boot the new box on a livecd, and untar it after mounting
up the drive on /mnt/gentoo
To tar it up, I boot on a live cd, mount the partitions as needed (root
and boot) and then tar with cjpf the whole thing.
Once ive set the bootloader up and rebooted, it moves the network cards
from eth0 and eth1 to eth2 and eth3 (and its just moved them to eth4 and
eth5 on a new installation!)
What can I do to make sure it comes up as eth0 and eth1 each time?
I use a similar procedure to install many computers with same hardware
(just use dd instead of tar), and had the same problem. Then I find
that setting
RC_COLDPLUG="no"
in /etc/conf.d/rc.conf disables the use of
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-???-rules so the hardware is detected
again on boot. Then you can enable COLDPLUG safely.
