If you have a Gentoo machine running on Linode, take care to note that |
| 2 |
the eudev => udev changeover requires some manual intervention before |
| 3 |
the next reboot. |

You will need to DISABLE the network autoconfiguration option for the |
| 6 |
VM, and edit /etc/conf.d/net to specify the new, 'predictable' network |
| 7 |
interface name. This is because Linode's network autoconfigurator is |
| 8 |
hard-coded to generate a configuration using the traditional style of |
| 9 |
network interface names, eg. eth0 |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Alternatively, you can make whatever changes are required to have the |
| 12 |
system enumerate the network interfaces with the old style names. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
If you do neither of those things, you will need to use the rescue |
| 15 |
console in order to log into the machine and fix your network |
| 16 |
configuration, as the system will not be able to bring up the network |
| 17 |
on its next boot. Ask me how I learned this. |
