no eth0 anymore - we moved proxmox to a new VM (WMware ESXi)

[Philipp]

We lost eth0 on our proxmox Mailserver VM - We took down the vm and moved the disk to another datastore and fired it up again.
Network adapter e1000 ist still connected but debian doesn't see it anymore.

Any hints much appreciated,
Philipp

remove the following file with:

rm /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules

and reboot.

In fact I already edited that file with nano but overlooked "eth1" at the end of the line.
Changed that to eth0 and it worked - but thanks anyway !
