[gentoo-user] VirtualBox guest eth0/enp0s3 problem

Hi list.

I decided to install a virtual server for testing some stuff, but I
couldn't configure eth0 as usual. The system complain it doesn't exist.
After compiling the kernel hundreds  of times, I supposed the problem
wasn't my kernel configuration then installed dhcpcd.

For my surprise, I got an IP address, but there weren't eth0, just enp0s3
instead. It wouldn't be a problem (even with dhcp), but I can't start any
service. They (sshd) complain that there is no eth0.

I'm using stable packages (x86).

Any suggestions? Thank you.

Due to the new udev version, the devices will be renamed by default to
names like enp0s3. This is not done by the kernel and no driver issue,
just a renaming at boot time done by udev.

You might have some old references to eth0 around, e.g.:
- /etc/init.d/net.eth0 (move this file to /etc/init.d/net.enp0s3)
- entries in /etc/conf.d/net (same here, rename them all to enp0s3)
- net.eth0 is maybe installed in the default runlevel. Remove it and add
net.enp0s3
- in case SSH still refuses to start, try running "/lib/rc/bin/rc-depend
-u" as root and/or setting rc_depend_strict="NO" in /etc/rc.conf

Everything is working ok now. :)

Next time I'll keep in mind looking at "eselect new". I've installed gentoo
3 weeks ago, I didn't know it would change since then.

Thank you both.
