Xen users - Feb 2006 - network-bridge - tg3 - no network

Hi,

i have some problems with xen-3.0.1 and the network-bridge script. After 
''/etc/init.d/xend start'' or
''/etc/xen/script/network-bridge start''
everything works perfect (as well as the domU''s network) -  but only
for
a few seconds (~20s). After that the network seems to crash - no 
outgoing or incoming connection possible.

I have read a forum thread about autoneogation problems with the tg3 but 
the suggested solution in this thread doesn''t help. (a sleep 5 in the 
network-bridge script) doesn''t help.

Second attempt was to install a current unstable Version of Xen with a 
Kernel 2.6.16.rc4. But this Version doens''t fix the problem, too.

Should I have to configure the bridge manually? And how do I accomplish 
that?

The System is a IBM HS20 Blade

Thanks for any help
Carsten Hensiek

Hi,

just for the archives:

We solved the problem by an firmware update (current tg3 firmware).
