I am more inclined to think it is something else in the files above and we need to see all 3 at the same time to tell. Also please send the output of an "ifconfig" command as well. > from /var/logs/messages > Feb 11 01:07:58 lovejoy kernel: eth0: RealTek RTL8139 at 0xf883cc00, > 00:08:a1:7d:7a:a2, IRQ 217 > Feb 11 01:07:58 lovejoy kernel: r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.2LK-NAPI loaded > Feb 11 01:07:58 lovejoy kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:09.0[A] -> > GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 225 > Feb 11 01:07:58 lovejoy kernel: eth1: RTL8169 at 0xf8844400, > 00:12:17:5c:af:72, IRQ 225 > Feb 11 01:07:58 lovejoy kernel: r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.2LK-NAPI loaded > Feb 11 01:07:58 lovejoy kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:0a.0[A] -> > GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 233 > Feb 11 01:07:58 lovejoy kernel: eth2: RTL8169 at 0xf8846800, > 00:0e:2e:65:8c:b4, IRQ 233 > excellent > BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! > still no work ARG! > > i still get the error > can not change name of eth2 to eth1 file exists > and > > R8169 device eth2 does not seem to be present > > Any other suggestions > I suspect it is now an error in the ifcfg-ethX files. Send the listing of all 3 and lets look at them.
