please post the contents of you /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file

As requested to contents of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules:

# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules

I am not sure why anaconda wrote that made up mac address for eth0.
Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2009-04-03 18:27:49 UTC 
just remove the lines for eth0 and eth1
Comment 4 Harald Hoyer 2009-04-03 18:28:27 UTC 
reassigned to anaconda
Comment 5 David Cantrell 2009-05-05 02:57:20 UTC 
Fixed in anaconda-11.5.0.48-1.fc11 and later.
