When listing the devices in the post-installed system, the expectation is that the on-board devices will be renamed like this: # ls /sys/class/net/ em1 em2 em3 lo However, the actual behavior doesn't show the rename, and instead unexpectedly shows: # ls /sys/class/net eth0 eth1 eth2 lo #
here are the system and test specific details: * for biosdevname test day: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-01-27_Network_Device_Naming_With_Biosdevname#Report_your_results * testing on board device renaming test case: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_biosdevname_on-board_network_interface_names * using a default package install from rawhide 01-26 repo: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/mash/rawhide-20110126/rawhide/x86_64/os/ * smolt hardware profile: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_07e18a2d-451f-46e8-82c0-1e393ef7c828
Brock: can I get output of: dmidecode biosdecode biosdevname -d please?

This system does not expose any information in SMBIOS about its devices or slots, and does not expose a PCI IRQ Routing Table. Therefore, there is nothing that biosdevname can do to provide "better" names. Closing as "working as designed".
