Mr. Domicile, I was reading your error and believe I just hit exactly the same condition with FC5. The problem that I had turned out to be the MAC address of the ethernet adapter. In your post, it showed a HWADDR of FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. You should see a real MAC address here. What was happening on my server was that "sometimes" the system would not read the HW address from the ethernet card. By adding a hard-coded MACADDR=nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn line in ''icfg-eth0'', I found I could force a real address and thus work around this issue. In my case, I think the issue is somewhat flaky hardware. Hopefully this will help you as well. ps: I am "off-list" but the archives are still quite useful. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Doug Dumitru 800-470-2756 (610-237-2000) EasyCo LLC doug@easyco.com http://easyco.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
