rhel vmware cloning minor-woes

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

if you clone a VM, you may see an error like

“Device eth0 has different MAC address than expected, ignoring”

Simply edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 script, and remove the HWADDR line, then restart networking ( /etc/init.d/network restart ).

That’s a warning, not an error

If you ever happen to be building python from source, and at the end of your make,  you notice a message along the lines of

“failed to find the necessary bits”

It’s only a warning about some apperantly optional modules; you should still go ahead and issue a “make test”, see how you feel then, before starting the hair-pulling.
