Fedora 15 biosdevname

Hi All

I am installing Fedora 15 on a Dell Dimension 5150C with one single ethernet card. I am following the Perfect Fedora 15 instructions whilst doing the installation.
I have added biosdevname=0 in /etc/grub.conf as one of the kernel params. After reboot, the interface name is still showing as em1 and not eth0.

Anybody have any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Regards

Mike

 

Can you post your /etc/grub.conf?

 

my grub.conf

Code:

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_belle-lv_root
#          initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=0
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

Looks ok. This is what I found on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ConsistentNetworkDeviceNaming :

Maybe you should try to modify /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.

 

You also need to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.

Change the 'name' variable to eth0 and you should be OK.

 

Yes.. the suggestion works.

Thanks

 

Is there a rule for each ethernet device?
