Installed kernel 2.6.18.2 now eth0 and eth1 change at random during boot
Dan Amborn
I am running Slackware 11.0. I installed the latest kernel 2.6.18.2
from 2.4.33.3 and now my eth0 and eth1 change randomly each time I
reboot. Never did this running the 2.4 kernel. Is there a work
around for this. This is my first time running the 2.6 kernel.

you can assigned via an alias the module with one card in
/etc/modprobe.d/my_eth
---bof---
#assigned integrated nforce2 to eth0
alias eth0 forcedeth
#assigned the other pcicard to eth1
alias eth1 other_module
---eof---
good luck \o_

What does dmesg say about eth0 and eth1? Does this vary between boots?
Are tulip + e1000 compiled as modules? Udev enabled?
2.6.18.3 touches the e1000 driver, might be worth a try.

I do not approve anything that tampers with natural ignorance.
Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom
is gone.

Yes it does vary between boots and both are compiled as modules with
udev enabled. It can be pretty consistant for a while and then bam it
can vary every boot. It seems to be more consistant if I power it
down. Most of the time when I power it down the e1000 driver gets set
as eth0 which is the opposite of what it was with 2.4. I'll try
2.6.18.3 and see what it does. Here is the complete dmesg.

That wasn't much of a read lol, but it did the trick! I found that
even if the settings were reversed early in the boot that it would be
cleared up once I got to the dhcp server address request. Rebooted
about ten times in different ways and all came out fine. Thanks
everyone.
