Hello, I have a FC5 dom0 and have set up a White Box Linux 3.2 domU and the eth0 will not come up in this domain. I see the following error message ifup eth0 modprobe: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented modprobe: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented e100 device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. The peth0 and xenbr0 are running in dom0 and appear to be configured correctly. I understand that the error message is about modules.conf versus modprobe.com but I''m told that this error message is irrelevant since the unprivileged kernel does not load modules. Thanks in advance for any help with this? Duncan

If it''s not a recent (post-Xen-3.0.0) one, you may be out of luck: XenSource changed the domU ABI before the final 3.0.0 release. --Stephen
Stephen, Kernel is 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5.xenU I''ve found that the problem was caused because the 2.4 based guest OS (White Box Linux) didn''t support modprobe.conf so didn''t load the CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND Module. I''ve recompiled the kernel so that this module is built in and it resolved the issue. Thanks for your reply, Duncan -----Original Message----- From: Stephen C.
