If anyone can throw any light on this, it would be of help.
find /etc -type f -exec egrep -Hin eth0 {} ;
will identify the udev file in your system.
Edit the relevant lines and you can map eth0 to the new MAC address.
Currently, I change the MAC address in: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 & /etc/udev/rules.d/xxxx (some file called persistent-net?? not sure of the exact name.)
I was referring to the persistent udev rules. I follow the KISS (Keep it Simple and Stupid) rule and make the change in one and only one place; the udev persistent rules.
I guess you are using a Fedora/RHEL distro, removing the MAC address line in ifcfg-eth* files should work after making the change in the udev persistent rule.
