I suspect it's kudzu ... which IMHO is not really appropriate on domUs and 
should be disabled, but I don't like/trust automagic... With kudzu turned 
off (chkconfig kudzu off) and making sure there is no MAC= line in your 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file, you should be ok even if 
the mac address is changing.... at least this is true for my old and new 
redhat based systems. -Tom
