Hi I have Xen running on Fedora as a dom0 with domUs of fedora 4, suse 10.0 and my own home grown file system. It all seems to work fine so far and I am about to start some stability testing I need to do. I am using the current unstable tree based on 2.6.12. One thing I have not figured out is a problem I am having with dhcp. When I set dhcp = "dhcp" in my /etc/xen config files I always get Sending DHCP request ...... timed out! IP-Config: Reopening network devices... Sending DHCP request .. and so forth. I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks, Johnnie _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi Jim, Nope, I have: vif = [''mac=aa:cc:00:00:00:01, bridge=xenbr0''] Johnnie James Miller wrote:>> -----Original Message----- >> From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com >> [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com]On Behalf Of Johnnie >> Peters >> Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2006 12:50 PM >> To: Xen Users >> Subject: [Xen-users] DHCP timed out messages >> >> >> Hi I have Xen running on Fedora as a dom0 with domUs of fedora 4, suse >> 10.0 and my own home grown file system.

I see the same problem. When I use dhcp in userspace, it works, but when I use the client in the domU kernel, it times out. I wonder if this is due to packet loss as described in this thread: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2006-03/msg00781.html Does a userspace DHCP client work for you too? It''s probably a good idea to open a bug on http://bugzilla.xensource.com for this one if one doesn''t already exist. Thanks for your help. Andrew ==============Andrew D.
