I've also got mandriva2007 and found that after a reboot the eth switched to eth1 from eth0. I hadn't installed vmware-tools -- the strange thing that I did was to "ghetto clone" a vm by copying the vmdk files and create a new custom vm using those disks. The source vm worked fine. But after the first reboot the new vm wouldn't get on the network, giving "pcnet32 device eth0 does not seem to be present" when I ran "ifup eth0". Thanks johnshen for posting the tip on HWADDR, it fixed it for me -- I never would have figured that out. I guess this is a mandriva peculiarity? -Amir
