I'll have to test the vdi's on some other machines. I prepare them using the clonehd tool, which avoids problems with duplicate vm id's. I guess that might not be enough.

I never use Virtual Appliances but it seems that in this linux system eth0 is renamed to eth1. If this is a Debian system, this is probably due to the fact that an eth0 interface is already 'registrered' by udev so udev register this interface with the next number (eth1). Interface are registered according to their MAC address. I do not know at all how the MAC address of the interface is created. Registered interfaces are listed (with MAC address and name) in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
To fix this, I see several solutions : - use eth1 everywhere instead of eth0 (not easy if you do not know what to modify exactly. /etc/network/interfaces would be one of such places) - remove /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules (at least the line with the wrong eth0 AND the line with eth1 if it has been created) => next boot udev will pick the first number (eth0) for the interface - wait a new image where /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules has been removed - modify your configuration so that the interface gets the MAC address written in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules for eth0

Try 'dmesg | grep eth' and see if any network devices are present.
