"device eth0 does not seem to be present delaying initialization"
Is the one error which i was getting while i was trying to install CentOS6 on KVM on my rhel6 host. I installed it no GUI installed because i wanted to be it as SQUID server so i left it on RUNLEVEL 3, there was no eth0 there only loopback showing. I edited /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 but no use. finally used /var/log/dmesg log to know some thing.

[root@CentOS ~]# cat /var/log/dmesg |grep -i eth
Then i came to know that there was some issue with MAC address, so i compared both the MAC addresses, like the one in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and the one at virtual NIC in the KVM. That's the thing both are not the same. So i changed it as it was on virtual NIC in the KVM. Then i restarted the network service and assigned the IP address. That's all man,
Wait , wait i forgot to tell you that in the dmesg log i also noticed that dev has changed the eth to eth1, so i edited the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and also renamed it to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1.

Even I have the same problem in centos6 minimal install. Tried couple of things but its not working.
ReplyDeletehi chandan, did you just renamed the /etc/..../ifcg-eth0 to /etc/.../ifcfg-eth1 or you also changed the same for DEVICE and NAME in /etc/.../ifcfg-eth file. ? do one thing delete MAC address line from this file and restart network serice, /etc/init.d/network restart
ReplyDeletemake sure you renamed the eth file same every where, issue will be resolved.

That's a generic message for a few solutions. Try these as well to see if it will move you along further:
