How to get Linux udev to play nice with Hyper-V IC synthetic network driver

Question

I managed to get the Debian 6.0.1 to work with the Microsoft Hyper-V synthetic drivers, thanks to this question. However, if I don't remove the entry for the synthetic ethernet card from /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules on every boot, the VM won't boot the next time as there is a kernel BUG at mm/mmap.c:2129 (Recursive fault) - last sysfs file: /sys/devices/vmbus_0_0/vmbus_0_3/net/eth0/uevent

How do I fix this?

EDIT:

75-persistent-net-generator.rules looks like this:

# These rules generate rules to keep network interface names unchanged
# across reboots and write them to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.

# variables used to communicate:
#   MATCHADDR           MAC address used for the match
#   MATCHID             bus_id used for the match
#   MATCHDRV            driver name used for the match
#   MATCHIFTYPE         interface type match
#   COMMENT             comment to add to the generated rule
#   INTERFACE_NAME      requested name supplied by external tool
#   INTERFACE_NEW       new interface name returned by rule writer

Answer 1

I think try this, based on a Debian forum post

mkdir /lib/udev/rules.d/disabled 
mv /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules /lib/udev/rules.d/disabled 
mv /lib/udev/rules.d/75-cd-aliases-generator.rules /lib/udev/rules.d/disabled 
rm -f /etc/udev/rules.d/70*

In your file:

# ignore interfaces with locally administered or null MAC addresses
# and KVM and VMWare virtual interfaces
ENV{MATCHADDR}=="?[2367abef]:*",        ENV{MATCHADDR}=""
ENV{MATCHADDR}=="00:00:00:00:00:00",    ENV{MATCHADDR}=""

You need to add your mac address to the bottom of this section. You probably only need to specify the first 3 so something like this:

# ignore interfaces with locally administered or null MAC addresses
# and KVM and VMWare virtual interfaces
ENV{MATCHADDR}=="?[2367abef]:*",        ENV{MATCHADDR}=""
ENV{MATCHADDR}=="00:00:00:00:00:00",    ENV{MATCHADDR}=""
ENV{MATCHADDR}=="MS:ma:c9:*", ENV{MATCHADDR}=""
