Missing network interface after cloning a Ubuntu template on ESX vmware server.
I was cloning some Ubuntu 10.04 LTS machines from a template and the kernal couldn't find eth0.
(Weird, because eth0 was there when I BUILT the VM, and the clone now had eth1)
After some digging I found that that the device manager’s had the old MAC address in the udev rules file.
Rules file located here:
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
Edit out the duplicate interface, and wulaaa, after a reboot, networking is running as expected.
