Here's the relevant link from the upstream vendor's release notes:

Naming convention for network interfaces

Traditionally, network interfaces in Linux are named eth[X]. However,
in many cases, these names do not correspond to actual labels on the
chassis. Modern server platforms with multiple network adapters can
encounter non-deterministic and counterintuitive naming of these
network interfaces.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 introduces biosdevname, an optional
convention for naming network interfaces. biosdevname assigns names to
network interfaces based on their physical location. Note, however
that biosdevname is disabled by default, except for a limited set of
Dell systems.
Refer to the Red Hat Knowledge Base for further information on using
biosdevname.

[CentOS] No eth0 on centos 6.2

2012-01-04 Thread Jeff
Just installed centos 6.2.  I run and ifconfig -a I see and em1 
em2 and lo interface.  If I go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, 
I don't see an ifcfg-eth0.  If I run ifup eth0 it comes back 
with Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying 
initialization.  Anybody have a clue?  Thanks in advance.

The names of the devices are starting to change. The 'emX' are likely
your interfaces. If you check you should have ifcfg-emX files. If you
would like to rename them, you can follow this;

https://alteeve.com/w/Changing_the_ethX_to_Ethernet_Device_Mapping_in_EL6_and_Fedora_12%2B

That talks about change eth0 - eth1, but it can just as easily be em0
- eth0.

I simply decided to set onboot to yes, bootproto to static, and 
assign an address.  

Thank you!

Not sure about RH 6.x, but in Fedora 16 and up, one also should remove
the biosdevname package (rpm -e biosdevname) if they want to go back to
the ethX naming scheme.
