Resolution of Errors : How to Fix “Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization” Error on Centos

OS Based            : Linux Centos 6.3 64Bit
Command to use : ifconfig, ifup, rm, reboot, service

I was copying my Oracle Virtual Box VMs from PC to Laptop,Server power on successfully but when I try to connect to the network the VM is isolated.  

Symptoms :

  • Check the network using ifconfig command it seems that eth0 has no IP Address
  • Restart the the whole network service using service network restart, error shown "Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization"
Solutions :

  • Remove file 70-persistent-net.rules in order to re-genereate MAC address when the server start-up.
