Xen users - Jul 2006 - Problem in setting up network in guest OS

Hi all,

I''m really facing diffculty in bringing up the network in my guest OS.
My /etc/xen/myconfig file looks like :

# Kernel image file.
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5xenU"

#Initial memory allocation
memory = 64

# A name for your domain. All domains must have different names.
name = "vm2"

nics=1

#vif = [''bridge=xen-br0'']
vif = ['''']
#gateway = "192.168.0.1"
#netmask = "225.255.255.0"
#extra = "fastboot"

dhcp = "dhcp"
disk = [''file:/root/fedora.img,sda1,w'']
#ip = "192.168.0.100"
#hostname = "mynode"
root = "/dev/sda1"
extra = "ro selinux=0 3"


I am not even able to ping 127.0.0.1(getting connect:network is
unreachable).when I do ifconfig on my guest domain I get no
messages.Ilooked into the mailing-list archive and found out a mail
from Christian
Vaughan and replies from Gawain Lynch quite relevant.However,I tried those
but still not working.For your reference I''m posting their
conversation........

Thanks,

I got it working I also had to edit /etc/sysconfig/network and add these two
lines.

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=xendomain

I also had issues with my modules not being loaded so I copied
kernel-xenU-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5.i686.rpm onto the image and executed it once
the domain was created.

Ensure /etc/modprobe.conf has the line:
        alias eth0 xennet

And /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 looks something like this

        DEVICE=eth0
        BOOTPROTO=dhcp
        >        DHCP_HOSTNAME=myhost.mydomain.com
        PEERDNS=yes
        TYPE=Ethernet

I tried all this but not working.I''m getting the following error when
trying
to run modprobe xennet

FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2122_FC5xenU/modules.dep: No
such file or directory

Looking forward to any help on this matter.

Thanks.
Sanjib
