Device eth0 has different MAC address than expected

While I am changing My hard Disk from One Mother Board to Another Mother Board.
I got the following error message. it was booting perfectly. But while I restart the Network I got the Following Error message.

Error Message : #service network restart
Bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 has different MAC address than expected, ignoring.
REASON : Because In the /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifconfig-eth0 file MAC Address Assign as the Old Mother Board Ether net Mac Address. so While I restart Network service /etc/sysconfig/nework-script/ifconfig-eth0 Mac Address and Physical MAC Address Both Are different. Due to that We got the Above Error Message.
SOLUTION :
1) get the Local Mother Board MAC Address.
# dmesg | grep "Ethernet Address"
eth0: Ethernet Address: 00:0D:61:90:AE:4A
2)Update these Ethernet MAC Address into that corresponding file/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
3)Then restart the Network Service.It will work Perfectly.
Bringing up interface eth0: Device eth0 has different MAC address than expected, ignoring.
