Been using SI a lot now- multiple architectures and systems.   Currently
using 4.1.6-1. 

On my latest/newest set of servers (Sun x2200), I'm having a devil of a
time with the network interfaces.   

On my golden client, my network scripts look like this:

Ifcfg-eth0:

# Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5715 Gigabit Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=141.106.224.255
HWADDR=00:1E:68:86:5F:18
IPADDR=141.106.224.133
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=141.106.224.0
ONBOOT=yes

Ifcfg-eth1: (onboot-no, this is disabled)

# Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5715 Gigabit Ethernet
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:1E:68:86:5F:19
ONBOOT=no
DHCP_HOSTNAME=zephir0.phys.mcw.edu


Which basically says, Eth0 is the primary interface- the one I want to
use, ETH1 is disabled in the config.


But after the systems get imaged, I end up with this:

Ifcfg-eth0:
# Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5715 Gigabit Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:1e:68:4a:2e:9b

Ifcfg-eth1:
DEVICE="eth1"
ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROTO="none"
IPADDR="141.106.224.136"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
NETWORK="141.106.224.0"
BROADCAST="141.106.224.255"


Which is basically *backwards*- and unuseable, as ETH1 isn't even
connected.

I have tried overrides and such with no success.    I am aware that
systemconfigurator can possibly be configured to order the Ethernet
devices BASED ON MODULE NAME, but in my case-- eth0 and eth1 use the
SAME module name.    So, that doesn't work.

It seems like while my redhat kernel detects things in the order I want,
while in the boel environment as the system is being imaged, the order
is reversed.

Any idea how I can control this?    Totally frustrating.   I have a
*LOT* of nodes- I really do not want to have to log onto each one after
I image it and re-write the network scripts.
