networking tests failing on rhel10 due to network device naming change

[rvykydal]

First seen on nightly compose 08-18-2024

For example for onboot-activate test the names changed from enp1s0, enp2s0, enp3s0 to eth0, eth1, ens0.

Succeeding test log (08-17-2024):
virt-install.log

First failing test log:
virt-install.log

It would be better to run the test locally and grab journal.log to see early stages when the naming is set up.

I asked systemd guys, they are not aware of any change that could cause this (but if we want we can file an issue: "jira, logs and udevadm info for those devices (/sys/class/net/eth0 .....)"). Also downstream tests are not hitting it (but they may be device name agnostic). Maybe related to our virt setup.

This change is actually unwanted. The ethX naming is the old and was abandoned in udev 197 according to https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/

Debugging this further...

https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-55728 seems to be fixed, workaround is no more needed (#1294)
