Is there a udev rule left on the image from the installation system, 
check in /etc/udev/rules.d and see if the 70-persistent-net.rules files 
has an entry for the eth0 hardware address from the install system.

If there is you can just delete that file and the system will recreate 
it next time it boots, with your device (MAC address) listed as the eth0 
device.

Thanks
