Device eth0 has different MAC address than expected, ignoring

14 June 2007

Today I received this error when restoring a Red Hat Linux Virtual Machine.

This is probably more of a work around than a fix, but I edited:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and removed the MAC address entry.

Then I initialized the NIC, and it came up fine.
