You can specify the Hardware (MAC) address in the network config (ifcfg-ethn) for each card to prevent this from happening, especially if the cards use the same driver....

One of my systems have two onboard NICs which uses the e100 and e1000 drivers (yes, the interfaces are not the same). This system kickstart fine with CentOS 3.x. I recently tried to rekick it with CentOS 4.x but was unsuccessful in doing so. When kicking CentOS 4.1, the interfaces are swapped around, i.e. eth0 becomes eth1 and eth1 becomes eth0 (as described at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=104888957013124&w=2). Is there a way to fix the interface during kickstart?
Unfortunately, because we have so many different types of systems, simply swapping the cables is not a good idea because it complicates management. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
