Thanks I'll add this and see if it helps!

Since I work templates a bunch, I'm interested in helping with documentation on the guest side/collect handy scripts, etc. Let me know the best way to get my feet wet.

Happy Friday!

the default build adds the mac address to a couple places.

Here is a script I wrote to deal with it,   Run before creating the template

#!/bin/bash
ed /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules<<__EOF__
/eth0
d
w
q
__EOF__

for i in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*
do
ed ${i}<<_EOF_
/HWADDR
d
w
q
_EOF_
done

Hey Folks,
Are there any wiki or documentation on what needs to be done to a
rhel5/6 instances before it can become a template? The symptoms i'm
experiencing right now are- when a instance gets created from template,
the vm comes up, but without eth0. I need to manually configure the host
via console and perform a reboot in order for the new instance to come
up with networking. Any advice would be very appreciated!

(moved discussion to -users)

No specific wiki AFAIK,

You could start from the ISO, create your instance and make a template
of it. How did you go about creating the template? What is the
BOOTPROTO in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0? Can you turn
off network-manager control for the ip and try again?

Also note RHEL6(.3?) has the ifcfg-em1/em2 convention.
