Your renaming is wrong, or at least does not lead to the result you are
expecting. Rename "ifcfg-eth0:1" to "inactive.ifcfg-eth0:1". Why?

$ grep -n ifcfg /sbin/ifup
220:    for device in `fgrep -l "MASTER=${DEVICE}"
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*` ; do
328:                    for device in `fgrep -l "MASTER=${DEVICE}"
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*` ; do
401:    for device in `fgrep -l "MASTER=${DEVICE}"
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*` ; do
