My box had lenny (installed in December, before the official release), I just did:
apt-get dist-upgrade It upgraded the box from 2.6.26-1 to 2.6.26-2 I did a reboot to get the new kernel On booting, eth0 became eth0_rename_ren I looked at: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and found each MAC listed multiple times, with variations of eth0_rename and eth0, etc I deleted the file completely, rebooted again, and found the interfaces eth1, eth0_rename, eth2_rename and eth3_rename on my system, and each of these describe once in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules I edited the file by hand, remove _rename from each of the names, rebooted again and now I have eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3 Now for another reboot - and I still have eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3 now. My biggest concern is that booting without any /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules gave me three interfaces with _rename appended to their names. One other comment, not sure if it could be related to the issue in any way, but this is a Xen dom0 box, and Xen does it's usual tricks renaming interfaces, but not until after the udev setup. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
