On all of my CentOS 5 VMWare ESX3 virtual machines (about 15), after installing a new kernel and rebooting the machine, the Network script tries to run dhclient and can't determine the IP info (since I don't
run
a dhcpd server... it's a static IP only lan). This also backs up my ifcfg-eth0 file to ifcfg-eth0.bak and writes a new ifcfg-eth0 that has dhcpd with no IP info. Copying the ifcfg-eth0.bak to ifcfg-eth0 and running /etc/init.d/network start or ifup eth0 brings my network back
up.
I have found that kudzu does this if it detects changes in the MAC addresses of your NICs. Did you clone/copy your virtual machine and did VMware regenerate MAC addresses for your virtual NICs?

I had this as well. I found that if you configured you ifcfg interface script with the MAC address included and uncommented, kudzu no longer manipulated the file.
