I have a Dell server that has two built-in ethernet devices. When I kickstart the machine, they are correctly identified as eth0 and eth1 (correctly meaning they correspond to the physical device ports 1 and 2). I need a third one and want that to come up as eth2. After adding the hardware, kickstart now fails because for some reason it goes through a rename process where it makes the newly added card eth1 (or eth0, I forgot). Is there a way to stop this rename process so kickstart correctly uses the physical hardware the way they are, meaning physical port 1 = eth0, port 2 = eth1, and the additional ethernet card then becomes eth2?
What version of CentOS are you trying to install? I would expect that a recent version would use the biosdevname interface naming scheme on a Dell server.
