I am new to xen and trying to get the primary domain working properly before I
create a new one. I am using the Gentoo unstable sources (2.6.16-rc5) and xen
3.0.1 and the kernel boots Ok and eth0 is activated. At this point the
network is active and I can ping. Then I shutdown net.eth0 and start xend.
This restarts net.eth0 and does some other stuff. Now every thing looks
normal (ifconfig, netstat) but I cannot ping anything. I have seen some other
posts like this but I am not getting any "WATCHDOG" messages. I have
also
seen some advice about configuring APIC in the kernel but I have a P4 HT
running as SMP, so this option is not available. Any ideas?
Also, usually I select VESA for the console with VGA=792. With xen this seems
to be ignored and I get "elephant font" which is not very convenient!
Any
tricks available here?
TIA
-Robin.

Maybe you could post some parts of your configuration, for example your modified /etc/conf.d/net and xend-config.sxp Regards Philipp Am Mittwoch, 29.

In xend-config.sxp I left the setting "(network-script network-bridge)" which what I want, I think. /etc/conf.d/net is unchanged: modules=( "ifconfig" ) config_eth0=( "192.168.1.2/24 brd 192.168.1.255" ) routes_eth0=( "default via 192.168.1.1" ) As I said, the network "looks" normal, the routes are there, just no packets flow. Should I have made changes? Cheers... -Robin, -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robin Atwood.

And this might be caused by the firewall, even if everything works if xend is not running.

I have to add xend to default runlevel (rc-update add xend default) then reboot the machine. But I still can not restart xend. /etc/init.d/restart causes lost network connection.

Is this something I missed in the manual? I use Gentoo and Xen3 and just added the init scripts from /usr/portage/app-emulation/xen/files to my /etc/init.d folder and told rc-update to start them on a normal boot. -- Andrew Thompson http://aktzero.com/ _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
