The fix did not work on this problem. I don't know enough about udev
but I did think it looked like it would.
The problem was not fixed by installing the 2.6.21-2 k7 kernel.
The suggestion made by Wackojacko did work.
I was able to boot with and without the above fix after I removed all
rules in the /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules file.
Commenting out the rules did not work, removing them did. I have to
test if it still works with the old 2.6.18 kernel, but if your
interfaces get changed with the new udev on the 2.6.21-2 k7 kernel,
this should fix it.
Thanks Wackojacko!
