[gentoo-user] Problems with udev and network cards changing device name

[Jonathan Gill]

Hi.

Ive got a weird problem here and hoping someone can give me a solution, 
or point me to some docs that show how to resolve this.

I have a system that I have built that I use as a base for all my other 
boxes. (think stage 4)

I tar it up, boot the new box on a livecd, and untar it after mounting 
up the drive on /mnt/gentoo

To tar it up, I boot on a live cd, mount the partitions as needed (root 
and boot) and then tar with cjpf the whole thing.

Once ive set the bootloader up and rebooted, it moves the network cards 
from eth0 and eth1 to eth2 and eth3 (and its just moved them to eth4 and 
eth5 on a new installation!)

What can I do to make sure it comes up as eth0 and eth1 each time?

Im guessing its a udev problem, but could be anything else.

udev version is - 104-r12
baselayout is version - 1.12.9
kernel is gentoo-sources 2.6.19-gentoo-r5

Many thanks for any help

Jonathan
