This is strange. I have 3 CentOS 5.4 KVM's that were switched from RTL8129 to e1000 nics. Now at boot all 3 of them have inactive ethernet ports and have to be activated manually. I've checked their settings on all 3 of them and the prefs (within CentOS) say that the ethernet port will be activated at boot, but it's not happening. I then manually activate the ports and everything works, but this is a pita as I'm not always the one to reboot the guests.

Is this something I need to fix through PVE or through the guests?

I assume on the guest side as it sees new hardware.
 
That's what I assume as well, but it's just weird. The nics are set to activate at boot but they're obviously not.

Thanks for the confirmation.
