[Xen-users] networking problem with Xen and Broadcom tg3 rev 10
Hi, I''m having problems using Xen (2.0.7 and 3.0.0) on newer IBM HS-20 blades, which uses Broadcom network card (tg3 kernel module). Here''s the relevant entry from lspci : 05:01.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704S Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) 05:01.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704S Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10) If xend is not running, network works fine, but as soon as xend (with the default bridged-networking) is started network stopped working. At first I suspect it was a problem with the OS, but the exact same software setup works fine on systems with older version of network cards, e.g. something that have these (including older IBM HS-20 blades): 0000:01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704S Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02) 0000:01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5704S Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02) OS is RHEL 4.2. Any idea what might have caused this problem? Regards, Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Yeah, browse archives and search for the word "tg3", someone posted a patch to fix that.

Greetings, Many thanks indeed for the information. However, has anybody put together a recipe on the eefective and obviously efficient way of getting XEN to work as a turn key solution on SuSe 10? I will not be all day at Solutions Linux, so in case of problems, I will tell the guys to use your recipe. Anyhow, everybody is welcome to come over on our stand to helpout and talk to the geeks :-) Moste grateful for your help on this matter.
