   net eth0: device_rename: sysfs_create_symlink failed (-17)

32-bit bzImage kernel - config attached. (The 64-bit kernel even lost connectivity due to this and ifcfg-eth0 got renamed to ifcfg-eth0.bak by kudzu.)

detected order of the interfaces is:

  forcedeth 0000:00:0a.0: ifname eth0, PHY OUI 0x5043 @1
  eth1: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xffffc200001f2000

and that's the ordering in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts as well.


Does your setup do anything like try to rename the interfaces?

I cannot think of anything that changed recently in this area in net, off the top of my head.

Ingo -

You are not alone. I see very similar stuff when I boot a system with a large number of interfaces. At first it was almost every interface generating the messages or ones like them, but now with a patch applied (might have come via Jeff?)

Interestingly (?) when I look at my eth7 interface via ethtool I see:

hpcpc103:~/linux-2.6.24-rc1# ethtool -i eth7
driver: Neterion
version: 2.0.26.5
firmware-version:

but if I look for it in /proc/interrupts I don't see it:

hpcpc103:~/linux-2.6.24-rc1# cat /proc/interrupts | grep eth7
hpcpc103:~/linux-2.6.24-rc1#

and if I look at all of /proc/interrupts:

it appears as eth6.
