Daniel,
Hm, that's different.
I do however know that Dell and Redhat have been working on some methods of
using DMI / smbios labeling to keep the port names on the back of the
system the same as the system's actual ethernet ports. I've got more than
a couple boxes where this caused a bit of head scratching.
More info here:

Hope this helps. or at least doesn't confuse the issue.

Ooups!
I accidentally send the previous email to early....
Now to the issue,
The system - has 3 network interfaces, were the third (presented by bios)
interface is used as the public interface. We do a cobbler installing using
the third interface.
When installing Red Hat 5.5, interface 'eth0' will be assigned to the
interface which was used during the installation.
- This is fine, however is it possible to have it labeled as the instance
number it was detected as (eg. eth2)?
When installing Red Hat 6.0 or 6.1 the interface pointing at the third
interface gets labeled eth2-eth0 (seen when running ifconfig -a)
(see attached image)
Is this a known issue for Red hat 6.x or does it sound familiar to anyone?
Best Regards,
Daniel
