    you should set a mac address in your domU config file.

    e.g.
    vif  = [ 'mac=00:00:cb:62:fd:7f,bridge=xenbr0' ]

    otherwise the interface changes it's mac every time the domU is
brought up.
Thanks. That worked. I let the machine boot, copied the assigned MACto the .cfg file, and it started configuring eth0 automatically afterthe next boot.
I'm still curios to understand what actually goes there, does the"Checking for hardware configuration changes" boot stage do the renaming?

Read the scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/. I think it's there,and there's a lot of fascinating stuff buried there, such as setting thehostnames for DHCP by creating a file called /etc/dhclient-eth0.
