Hello,
This is my first post in this list.
I''m running Debian Squeeze as Dom0 on a bi-xeon 64 bits :
root@sd-29499:/etc/xen# uname -a
Linux sd-29499 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 8 00:01:30 UTC 2011
x86_64 GNU/Linux
I''m trying to install a Squeeze DomU but there is no network card, even
during install wich doesn''t show any network card with lspci (but when
I
install Debian Lenny, there is a network card):
root@sd-29499:/etc/xen# ls -lah /usr/download/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 646M 22 mars 17:27 debian-6.0.1a-amd64-CD-1.iso
root@sd-29499:/etc/xen# lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440FX - 82441FX PMC [Natoma] (rev 02)
00:01.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 ISA [Natoma/Triton II]
00:01.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 IDE

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Cirrus Logic GD 5446
00:03.0 Unassigned class [ff80]: XenSource, Inc. Xen Platform Device
(rev 01)
This is my config with LVM and routed for this VM :
root@sd-29499:/etc/xen# egrep -v "#|^$" vm1-xen-hvm.cfg
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search(''64'', arch):
arch_libdir = ''lib64''
else:
arch_libdir = ''lib''
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen-default/boot/hvmloader"
builder=''hvm''
device_model="/usr/lib64/xen-4.0/bin/qemu-dm"
name = "vm1-xen-hvm"
disk = [
''phy:/dev/vm1-xen-hvm/home,hda,w'',''file:/usr/download/debian-6.0.1a-amd64-CD-1.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r'']
memory = "2048"
vif= [ ''ip=xxx.xx.230.16, mac=00:16:3E:25:3B:58, type=ioemu,
model=e1000'' ]
boot="c"
vcpus=4
vnc=1
vncviewer=1
vncdisplay=1
and my xend-config :
root@sd-29499:/etc/xen# egrep -v "#|^$" xend-config.sxp
(network-script ''network-route netdev=eth0'')
(vif-script vif-route)
(dom0-min-mem 196)
(enable-dom0-ballooning yes)
(total_available_memory 0)
(dom0-cpus 0)
(vnc-listen ''0.0.0.0'')
(vncpasswd ''xxx'')
(keymap ''fr'')
I''ve tried with rtl8139 and ne2k_pci drivers but no luck :
vif= [ ''ip=88.190.230.16, mac=00:16:3E:25:3B:58, type=ioemu,
model=ne2k_pci'' ]
What do I need for having network with a Squeeze DomU on a Squeeze Dom0
with LVM + routed + HVM ?
Thanks a lot for any help.
Sam

Re: [Xen-users] HVM Squeeze in domu without network
Hi Sam, I think the problem is that the network driver you require is in non-free and no longer part of a standard Squeeze ISO file. You can add in non-free firmware, see the attached scripts. Here was my original source on this: http://dannf.org/bloggf/tech/add-firmware-to.html More info here too, with some unofficial images referenced: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/debian-installer/ Cheers -- Kind Regards AndrewM Andrew McGlashan Broadband Solutions now including VoIP Current Land Line No: 03 9912 0504 Mobile: 04 2574 1827 Fax: 03 9012 2178 National No: 1300 85 3804 Affinity Vision Australia Pty Ltd http://www.affinityvision.com.au http://adsl2choice.net.au In Case of Emergency -- http://www.affinityvision.com.au/ice.html _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Hi and thanks a lot for your answer, In fact, I think it is the result of the bug between HVM and ROUTED. I''ve played around to resolved the HVM-routed bug with patches given by someone in this list. In fact, always at the same stage, the virtual NIC on DOM0 disapear when the iso image is starting , so the domU does not detect any Nick during install with Squeeze domU. I''ve tried with HVM-bridge and there is no problem with Squeeze for network. I am at home, I will give you more details tomorrow, at work. Thanks a lot for your help. Sam.

I use bridged mode, but had the same problem until I did this. You see the virtual NIC on dom0 disappear when Debian disables it as it switches to the PV-on-HVM driver, I believe. My theory would be that there is a problem in this procedure with type=ioemu, and when that activation fails, it does not recover gracefully, leaving you with nothing. -John _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

The problem is resolved with modifing the cfg. Thanks for your help. Sam.
