Just installed centos 6.2. I run and ifconfig -a I see and em1 em2 and lo interface. If I go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, I don't see an ifcfg-eth0. If I run ifup eth0 it comes back with "Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization". Anybody have a clue? Thanks in advance.
The names of the devices are starting to change. The 'emX' are likely your interfaces. If you check you should have ifcfg-emX files. If you would like to rename them, you can follow this;
Not sure about RH 6.x, but in Fedora 16 and up, one also should remove the biosdevname package (rpm -e biosdevname) if they want to go back to the ethX naming scheme.
