We use the network to install Ubuntu 14.04.4 version. The installation is successful but then there is no network after system reboot in post install. Checking the network and I saw the order of interface are changed. This is causing no network at all.
There is 2 cards (Houston 4ports & Mellanox 2 ports). We are using the Mellanox interface for this installation.
At the installation menu, we select this interface eth2 (mellanox card)
??????????????????????? [!!] Configure the network ????????????????????????
? ?
? Your system has multiple network interfaces. Choose the one to use as ?
? the primary network interface during the installation. If possible, ?
? the first connected network interface found has been selected. ?
? ?
? Primary network interface: ?
? ?
? eth0: Emulex Corporation OneConnect NIC (Lancer) ?
? eth1: Emulex Corporation OneConnect NIC (Lancer) ?
? eth2: Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3] ?
? eth3: Mellanox Technologies MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3] ?
? eth4: Emulex Corporation OneConnect NIC (Lancer) ?
? eth5: Emulex Corporation OneConnect NIC (Lancer) ?

The mellanox inteface is now on eth3 but on the /etc/network/interface file, it is set on eth2.
SRU TEST CASE:
--------------
* Do a netboot install in a VM or machine with more than one NIC. If you use a VM, take care to not use the default MAC addresses as they are blacklisted from the persistent net generator. E. g. use "-net nic,model=virtio,macaddr=A4:4E:31:12:34:XX" with QEMU.
* In the d-i environment, switch to a console with Alt+F2 after the base system got installed.
* With current trusty, there is no /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and thus it also does not exist in /target/.
* With the proposed update, /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules should exist and be copied to /target/etc/udev/rules.d/ as well.
