Confirmed. removing all of the entries in the
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules file works in the 2.6.18
kernels as well.
The question is, why would commented rules get read by udev and why
would it think a rule, made by a previous version of udev, wasn't
correct? Well I guess thats what _testing_ is for. It sure didn't
get caught in Sid.
Thanks to all that replied!
