[Xen-users] No network access from dom0 and cannot login...
Hi all, Firstly my apologies if this is the wrong list or the format of my mail is incorrect. If I screwed up, please let me know. I''m a new user to xen and I''d say a moderately skilled *nix user. The machine I''m installing xen on is as follows; Dell Precision 490 Red Hat Enterprise Edition 4 (Configured for my uni network, but I have root access (sudo).) Dual Core Intel Xeon 5130 @ 2Ghz 2Gb RAM. VT enabled in the BIOS. Anything else you need to know about the hardware spec, then please let me know. I originally installed xen from the RPM''s available on xensource, however the system would not boot and hung on PCI: Using MMCONFIG. I eventually decided to install from source. Source install worked fine and I have successfully got the system to boot. During the boot process the system hangs for around 1 - 2 minutes during the stage where xend is loaded. During the boot process I can happily ping the machine from elsewhere on the network, however as soon as xend begins to load the system stops responding to pings. Once the system has booted I am unable to login, this I assumed was because I had no network access - required for authentication here. I also cannot logon locally with a test account I created. So at this point the system is unpingable and unusable as I cannot login. If I boot off of the stock kernel everything begins to work fine again - I can login normally and network access is fine. I''ve trawled google and the mailing list for the better part of ten hours with little luck, I fear I cannot properly craft a search query to give me the answers I need. One point to note that may be insignificant is that there was no brctl in /sbin/ when I compiled, it is located in /usr/sbin/ - after compiling I placed a symlink in /sbin/ - If this is the problem does anyone know how I''d fix it? Any and all help would be appreciated as my eyes hurt somewhat and I seem to have forgotten how to spell xen :S Many thanks, Ryan. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
