Thanks James (x2)!

Even if it is Rhel 6.x creating this weird interface name (eth0-eth2) and leaving only a eth0 file in network-scripts,
it would be really good if cobbler could fix this.

Thanks,

Daniel

Ps. If someone looks for a fix, I can test and validate it.

Yeah, RHEL6 changed the naming scheme up. For instance, I was testing
some 10gbps NICs on RHEL6.1 and they ended up being named p1p1 and
p1p2... So what may be happening is you're naming the interface eth0,
but really the system thinks it's eth2, so it's creating a compromised
name. Just a guess, but it's all I can think of. Like James pointed
out above, it's definitely RHEL6 doing it and not cobbler.
