Hello, Anybody else run into problems with biosdevname .0.5..0-2 changing names from p2p1 to em1 when upgrading from biosdevname 0.4.1-3? Darn! I thought biosdevname was to keep the names the same!! -- Stephen Clark *NetWolves Managed Services, LLC.* Director of Technology Phone: 813-579-3200 Fax: 813-882-0209 Email: steve.clark at netwolves.com http://www.netwolves.com

An interface should only be automatically named em1 if it's an onboard NIC in a (just Dell?) system. And an interface should only be detected as pXpY if it's a PCI NIC. THOUGH I've seen it already where an onboard NIC in a Lenovo desktop was detected as p5p1.> > Darn! > I thought biosdevname was to keep the names the same!! >A while back I commented about differences I saw with installs of CentOS 6.3 (upgraded to the latest) and a fresh CentOS 6.4 (at the time). I had p1pY on the 6.3, but come time for the fresh install of 6.4 I had all ethX on identical hardware.> > > -- > Stephen Clark > *NetWolves Managed Services, LLC.* > Director of Technology > Phone: 813-579-3200 > Fax: 813-882-0209 > Email: steve.clark at netwolves.com > http://www.netwolves.com > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >-- ---~~.~~--- Mike // SilverTip257 //
