[Bug 1090002] Re: biosdevname gives name of device as rename7 in Quantal

[Narinder Gupta]

I am attaching the logs you also. also i am attaching the logs of
biosdevname -d which will give you info that biosname of device is
correct. I am seeing 70-persistent-net.rules is empty and rules to
generate the name is in 71-biosdevname.rules which i am attaching. After
commenting the line in 71-biosdevname.rules which generates the name
en<1-16> and rename<> i am seeing all devices are named as eth<0-17> and
70-persistent-net.rules contain the mapping of MAC address with the
eth<0-15> device name.

I am attaching the below required logs. 
 - /var/log/syslog
 - /var/log/udev
 - output of "dmesg"
 - output of "ifconfig -a"
 - /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
- /lib/udev/rules.d/71-biosdevname.rules
-  biosdevname -d

Bug description:
  In Quantal kernel biosdevname feature is not working as it suppose to
  be. On hardware we are seeing an issue where few of the network
  interface names are named as rename7 etc.. while biosdevname -d
  utility provides the correct biosname while kernel name have been
  messed up. There are total 16 network interfaces on the server which
  are ALOMs for Emulex card connected to system.

  It seems this issue is a race condition and will get fixed in Fedora
  18. But having fix in Quantal will help also.
