Xen devel - Jul 2010 - Dom0 network problem

Host OS:         CentOS 5.5
Xen version:    3.4.2

Compiling succeeded, everything seems to be normal.

But, when the dom0 start up, it says "Device eth0 has different MAC address
than expacted, ignoring."

I''ve searched for the solution, someone suggests to remove the line
"HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" from
/etc/sysconfig/networkscript/ifcfg-eth0, but after I did that, eth0 still cannot
start up, "Bringing up interface eth0:    e1000e device eth0 does not semm
to be present, delaying initialization."

Could anyone help?

Thanks!

Hello,

You should specify the mac address within the domain configuration in
the domain 0:

vif = [ "...,mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" ]
(of course, replace xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx with the correct mac address)

With this option, XEN does no longer choose a random hardware address.

Regards,
Felix
