Hi,
We just disliked the mac address naming convention so did this in our post_install script (and a few other things):
Thank you both for your help. Bye, Frank Schütte

The old naming schema can be restored manually. Just re-name the files. I cannot recall if you have to edit anything in /etc/sysconfig/hardware (files which point to hardware addresses, etc.) or edit /etc/modules.conf. It's been a while since I did it, but now mine are ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1.

Hallo,
for several similar machines I used to autoinstall just one machine and copy the installed system to the others. For some reasons this is in my environment less work than to autoinstall every machine.
In 9.1 the naming schema for the first ethernet device changed from "eth0" to "eth-id-<MAC address>". Since the MAC address is unique for each machine, the copied systems don't recognize their network interface.
Does anybody know a possibility to restore the old naming schema or correct the problem maybe by running a post-install script?
