Xen users - Feb 2008 - Cannot start xend : Device eth0 does not exist - Xen 3.2.0 on FC8

Hi all,

I compiled Xen 3.2.0 on a Fedora Core 8 distro running on a DELL OptiPlex
755 machine. When I boot into the Xen kernel and try to start xend it
complaints that device eth0 does not exist. I read a previous thread on this
probelm but for Xen 3.1 on a FC5 system saying that to correct it I should
add alias eth0 xennet to /etc/modprobe.conf . However I don''t have a
module
called xennet. Also when I checked the /etc/modprobe.conf the first line
says alias eth0 e1000e.

Does anyone have any idea what configuration I need to make to get eth0 up
and running?

Thanks in advance !!!
Argyro

You should do a ifconfig -a

and then make sure that your /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp is using the right
netdev for your physical card. By default it uses eth0, but you can change
it.
