Description Renich Bon Ciric 2009-12-06 08:14:38 UTC

Description of problem:
When you clone a f12 img (minimal install), your eth0 wont start.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.8.0-7.fc12.noarch

How reproducible:
Install a fedora 12 minimal installation. Run it and verify it works. Try cloning it and run the other one. Try turning eth0 on and watch it fail.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do a f12 virtual installation
2. Clone it
3. Try starting the eth0
  
Actual results:
The interface fails to connect

Expected results:
It should connect

Additional info:
I think I know what the problem is. When cloning, the interface's mack address get's updated. So, in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules you have eth0 registered with the old mac address.

The "clone" function should update this mac address to the new one (or regenerate this file).

I hope this helps.

Is this effectively a duplicate of bug #524269 ?

Comment 2 Renich Bon Ciric 2010-01-27 01:21:30 UTC

yes, definitelly... but not limited to that only... Maybe there're more things to do in order for the interface to appear correctly as eth1 and with it's new mac address...

Duping to 524269, we can discuss extra steps there.
