[gentoo-user] rc_coldplug - what to use instead of it?

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

when moving GenToo to similar hardware by cloning  / and /usr
I had strange effects like renaming eth0 to eth1 unless I got the hint
by some helpful guy on this list to set (in /etc/rc.conf)

rc_coldplug=NO

during the first boot
switching back to 

rc_coldplug=YES

for future boots.

Now, that rc_coldplug has gone,
what can I do instead?

Many thanks for hint,
Helmut.

Delete /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. It maps your old MAC
address to eth0, so the new NIC has to use eth1. It will be recreated
with the correct values after the next reboot.
