Besides the other two suggestions you may also want to set a proper 
SELinux label on the ifcfg-eth2 file with something like:
/sbin/restorecon -v -F /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2

The SELinux label I have on my ifcfg-eth0 is:
-rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:net_conf_t:s0  ifcfg-eth0
