Description Akos Szalkai 2016-03-02 20:59:51 UTC

In dracut-044 the /lib/systemd/network/99-default.link is only copied to the initramfs if the systemd dracut module is loaded.  But with this file missing, udevd will not rename the network interfaces to their persistent names.

The problem is in lines 59--62 of the file /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/95udev-rules/module-setup.sh :

if dracut_module_included "systemd"; then
    inst_multiple -o ${systemdutildir}/network/*.link
    [[ $hostonly ]] && inst_multiple -H -o /etc/systemd/network/*.link
fi

and the culprit is this patch in upstream: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1282010

emerge info

I'm not sure it's relevant for this issue, but here's the emerge --info output.

The udev version is the stable udev-225 and /etc/systemd/network is empty.

Comment 2 Akos Szalkai 2016-03-02 21:37:04 UTC

Sorry, the real cause were a couple of stray /etc/udev/rules.d files.  I set the status to RESOLVED INVALID.
