Hi,

In fact it's a udev problem in ubuntu. The udev probe only new net cards and keep the old ones (MAC adress) even if they are removed.

when you change your hard drive from a server to an other. you keep the eth0 link to the MAC adress of your old server. and the new net card (new mac adress) is linked to a new link (probably eth1). So the network isn't up.

All you have to do is to edit this file
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

and remove all the old probed net cards.

*******************remove from the file all the text as follow
# PCI device 0x14z4:0x16d7 (tg3)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:0b:cd:9g:c2:f4", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"
********************************

than you restart your server. udev will link eth0 to the new mac adress and it will work.

regards,
