Dear All, I am a newbie to Xen and I am trying to set up a Xen VM with more than one guest running on a single machine. As a setup, I have Xen 3.1.0 installed with fc7 core and trying to run debian-4.0 guest image on one of the guest environment. After starting the xm guest domain, the console gets hanged up at DHCP request command, the log is as below: [root@steelbug xen]# xm console debian.4-0 Bootdata ok (command line is root=/dev/sda1 ro ip=:1.2.3.4::::eth0:dhcp ) Linux version 2.6.18-xen (root@steelbug.cse.buffalo.edu) (gcc version 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-27)) #2 SMP Thu Nov 8 17:32:31 EST 2007 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: 0000000000000000 - 0000000010800000 (usable) No mptable found.
