Hi, I''m working with Xen 3.0.1 and I have the following problem: I''m running Xen in a VT enabled Intel processor, I have successful installed a Fedora Core 4 32 bits Guest using VT. But the Network interface doesn''t appear in the Guest. I mean, running the commands "ifconfig –a" doesn''t show any eth0 interface just lo. In the /sys/class/net directory there is not any ethX interface and neither in the dmesg log appears nothing about eth0. Finally when I run the command: lspci –v, there are the following devices: Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440FX ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371SB IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371SB VGA compatible controller: Cirrus Logic GD And anything about a Network interface. What can I do?, running a Linux Paravirtualized Guest (xenU) shows the interface eth0 without any problem. I adjusted the .config file for the xen0 domain. I added EHCI support and USB mass storage, and also support for SMP machines. I did it using the following command: In the xen directory: make linux-2.6-xen0-config CONFIGMODE=menuconfig make linux-2.6-xen0-build make linux-2.6-xen0-install And reboot. What options are needed in the .config file for Xen0 in order to create the virtual network devices in the VMX guests?

It works on an AMD SVM-enabled processor. Should be the same for all systems. -- Mats _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
