   rc.inet1.conf has a max interfaces number   
   In rc.inet1 it defaults to 6 -- 126 is way outside this limit   
   It's not really maximum interfaces; eth0 to eth5 are the only ones   
   allowed by default   
      
   What does 'ip a | grep ^[0-6]' say?   
      
   Are you sure you deleted /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules?
