Bug Description

Binary package hint: udev

After a power outage that caused an unexpected cold restart, eth0 is now eth# where # > 0 and incremented after each reboot. This is 100% reproducible.

Not sure how to manually fix this but I'm willing to help with debugging.

I don't see another way to mark this bug report as such but the behavior is with a gutsy box with the latest packages as of 2007.08.22.

Thanks.

Turns out that this was a problem with Xen. The host was a virtual host and Xen was re-assigning the MAC address at each reboot thus triggering the incremental interface names in udev.

Changed in udev:
