It shouldn't happend for pppoe since it's only run if DEVICETYPE is "ppp" or
"ippp". Please attach your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 file

I noticed a bug in initscripts scripts that makes the pppoe configuration 
beeing destroyed and replaced with a script that call chat 
-f /somenonexistingfile ...

So I suggest to change the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-post script.

I don't know what is used for that part, but problem comes from here :
    if [ "${DEVICETYPE}" = "ppp" -o "${DEVICETYPE}" = "ippp" ]; then
        if [ -f /etc/ppp/peers/$DEVICE ] ; then
            rm -f /etc/ppp/peers/$DEVICE
        fi
    fi

I just don't understand why we need to destroy the config ????

pppoe store the config in /etc/ppp/peers/ppp0, and this script, makes simply 
destroy the config if ppp0 interface is shutdown (ifdown ppp0, service network 
restart, so on...)

I realy suggest disable this part or add additionnal test to handle pppoe 
configs that shouldn't be removed...

or if you keep this remove, we will need to have pppoe works; by regenerating 
the pppoe /etc/ppp/peers/ppp0 file for example (that would be stupid, but...)

Thank's to fix it.
