A couple of months ago I upgraded from RH7.3 to RH9. All is working
well except that on boot there are two eth0 services starting. The
second one is listed as etho.OLD. I cannot find it in the network
settings and a search of the hard drive does not turn anything up
either. The networking seems to work fine except that the IP number is
being called by DHCP instead of the number I entered in netconf
(192.168.0.10).

Does anyone have any idea why this happened and how to fix it.

Thank in advance.
Bill

what does this give you?

ls -l /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts |grep eth0

It shows me exactly what I needed to see.

[bill@bill bill]$ ls -l /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts |grep eth0
-rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 334 Jul 9 21:07 ifcfg-eth0
-rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 316 Aug 29 2002 ifcfg-eth0.OLD

I moved the .OLD file to the temp folder and restarted. All is well now.

Thanks a bundle eric.

Any "ifcfg-eth*" in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts will result in an
ethernet device being started.

You need to rename "eth0.old" to "old.eth*"
