[Xen-users] could not load modules.dep stops network from working?

Iam new to Xen and I am trying to FC4 and FC4 domains. I came across a
problem when my newly created domain never gets a network. When I start
the domain I get a fatal error that leads me to believe that thios might
be the reason why I don''t have networking with the bridge:

 

Checking for new hardwaremodprobe: FATAL: Could not load
/lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1411_FC4xen0/modules.dep: No such file or
directory

 

modprobe: FATAL: Could not load
/lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1411_FC4xen0/modules.dep: No such file or
directory

 

modprobe: FATAL: Could not load
/lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1411_FC4xen0/modules.dep: No such file or
directory

 

mmap /dev/mem: Resource temporarily unavailable

mmap /dev/mem: Resource temporarily unavailable

modprobe: FATAL: Could not load
/lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1411_FC4xen0/modules.dep: No such file or
directory

 

The file obviously does not exist, so what do I do?

 

in the domain, the ip is missing:

[root@localhost ~]# ifconfig

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  

          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0

          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1

          RX packets:44 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

          TX packets:44 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 

          RX bytes:3044 (2.9 KiB)  TX bytes:3044 (2.9 KiB)

 

 

And back in the xen master I know the vif is being created:

[root@xenmaster xen]# brctl show xen-br0

bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces

xen-br0         8000.00e0812e539c       no              eth0

                                                        vif25.0

and my conf for the domain is:

 

kernel ="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1411_FC4xen0"

memory = 512

name = "rawhide"

nics = 1

vif = [ ''mac=aa:00:00:00:00:11, bridge=xen-br0'']

ip = "192.168.225.181"

netmask  = "255.255.255.0"

gateway = "192.168.225.1"

hostname = "grasshopper.active.com"

disk = [''file:/root/fedora.img,hda1,w'']

root = "/dev/hda1 ro"

 

3 questions:

Why is the domain looking in /2.6.12-1.1411_FC4xen0/modules.dep?

Why is the vif being created but not assigned to the domain?

Are these two problems related?

 

Thanx,

-peter

should probably be something like:
kernel ="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1411_FC4xenU"

Depends what modules you''ve put in
[''file:/root/fedora.img,hda1,w''].
You probably don''t have xen0 modules in there!

In general xen0 kernel should work too, it''s just bigger.  As you
rightly
point out, though, if there are things you *need* in modules, you''ll
need a
matching set of modules on the domain''s filesystem.

Cheers,
Mark

Re: [Xen-users] could not load modules.dep stops network from working?

Are you following the Fedora Xen Quickstart guide? I have been and have
noticed similar issues where the network doesn't seem to be created.
I've
gotten around these by hand coping the /etc/sysconfig/network ,
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 files from dom0 and edited
accordinhgly. I'm still crunching along and seeing intermittent issues, but
those seem to have enabled networking in domU. I believe the modprobe
errors you're seeing are red herrings and should be resolved by the depmod
as previously noted. I don't recall exactly, but I think  I had to mkdir
/lib/modules/2.6.12-xenU within the domU filesystem before running depmod.

hope that helps - Reuben
