I moved a VMWare image from one computer to another, both running VMWare server 1.01. When I moved the image onto the other computer, I (without thinking) had it generate a new unique ID. The image was paused when I moved it over, then I unpaused it. It worked fine, until I did an update/upgrade. On reboot, the machine lost it's NIC card. I still have the original up and running, but new data was added to the wiki between the migration and the loss of NIC.

Here's the spew from 'ifup eth0':

root@s-itwiki-01:/etc# ifup eth0\nSIOCSIFADDR: No such device\neth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device\nSIOCSIFADDR: No such device\nSIOCSIFADDR: No such device\neth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device\neth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

dmesg | grep eth0 brings back:

[17179578.088000] eth0: registered as PCnet/PCI II 79C970A

On the functioning image, dmesg | grep eth0 brings back:

[4294711.544000] eth0: registerd as PCnet/PCI II 79C970A\n[4294738.296000] eth0: no IPv6 routers present

Both are running Ubuntu 6.06.

Any suggestions? Requests for more information will be responded to with more information in the proper vein.
