I'm working on upgrading from FC6 to FC8. On FC5, I could add (for instance) 8139too to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and then add 'alias eth0 8139too' to /etc/modprobe.conf and the system would load the 8139too driver first. I removed the MAC from the sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* to keep the interface names at the default. With FC8, if I blacklist, it won't load the driver at all. I think this is related: I installed this image on one machine, and moved it to a very similar machine (same hardware type, but of course different ethernet MACs, etc). Both systems have 4 ethernet adapters on them. Now, when I boot on the new system, /etc/modprobe.conf and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts are populated with eth4-7. What I want to do is have this hard-drive image boot the same eth0-3 no matter which of these systems I boot it on. Any ideas on how to go about this in the most proper manner?
