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

[Paul Boven]

Server configuration:

SuperMicro X9DRi-F mainboard
On-board dual I350 (rev 01) Gigabit Ethernet controller [8086:1521], igb driver
PCI-E X540-AT2 (rev01) 10Gbase-T Ethernet card [8086:1528], ixgbe driver.

bios: Version 2.0a, 03/27/2013

The current situation causes two issues:
1.) The former interface p2p2 is now consistently named 'rename3'.
2.) There's a delay of more than a minute during the boot process, where nothing happens.

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.
