Hello,
I am using the jailtime centos4.4 image. It boots up fine, however, I
cannot get networking to work. Here is my cfg:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2122_FC5xenU"
memory = 256
name = "foo"
vif = [ '''' ]
disk = [''file:/home/foo/root,sda1,w'',
''file:/home/foo/swap,sda2,w'',
''file:/home/foo/home,sda3,w'']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
I cannot simply do an ifconfig eth0 ip.address netmask 255.255.255.0 in the
guest to bring up networking. What am I missing? DHCP is not an option
either.
Thanks!

What happens when you try it? Is the eth0 device absolutely not there at all iun the domU? Do you have ethernet modules compiled in, and copied the modules into the domU system(or do you use a monoithis kernel)?

That''s why I can''t do it. ifconfig -a does not show anything but the loopback. I used this kernel on a whitebox 4 installation. I assumed it had ethernet support compiled in.

Not afraid to try a different kernel.I don''t know about whitebox, but it''s unlikely someone provides a domU kernel without any network drivers. It''s more likely that you missed to add the initrd to your vm config, and/or forgot to copy the modules into the image you want to boot, in case your kernel is not monolithic. I don''t know what version of xen you are using, and who built the xen and xen-linux-kernel packages how. If you cannot clear this, especially if you are new to the topic, you better start from scratch installing xen but fiddling around with a strange install that gave you kernels with no network support, and try to use this with some random kernel from the net. BTW: Did I get it right that your domU system is whitebox 4? To which redhat/fedora version is this compatible?

I found that the jailtime images work fine with the XenSource kernel. While trying to get them working on FC6 I downloaded XS 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 and then worked well by booting the DomU to that kernel (and copying the libs to the DomU as well). Some things didn''t cooperate though (tap:aio, xvdN) but the network did). Please note that I did not use XS for the Dom0 though.

Jon, This is simple enough. Here is what I did. Go to http://www.xensource.com/download/dl_304tarballs.html and download the flavor that you need. Then untar that into some directory.>From there it will create a folder structure like this: dist/install/{boot,etc,lib,usr,var). If you need any of the kernel modules you will need to copy the lib directory into the DomU. You can do this by mounting your DomU on a loopback, coping lib into the loopback (cp -ax seems to work fine), and then umount it.Last you just need to change the kernel parameter in the config to point to the dist/install/boot/boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen. I my case I moved the contents of dist/install to a folder called /xen/xen-3.0.4/ and I use that in all of my copy scripts. Here is one of my DomU configurations using this method. name = "test10" memory = "96" disk = [ "tap:aio:/xen/testing/test10/xen-D0.img,sda1,w","tap:aio:/xen/testing/test10/xen-swap.img,sda2,w" ] root = "/dev/sda1 ro" vif = [ "mac=00:16:ff:ac:10:33" ] kernel = "/xen/xen-3.0.4-x64/boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen" on_reboot = "restart" on_crash = "restart" From: Jon Christensen [mailto:jonc21@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2007 6:58 AM To: Gary W.

Re: [Xen-users] centos jailtime image -- no network
my experience has been that CentOS/RedHat isn''t happy without a
ramdisk. add a
ramdisk
entry to your xm config file. one way to
get a ramdisk is to install the RHEL4 kernel rpm somewhere; alternately,
mkinitrd in the linux directory of your source also works okay.
you can try the RHEL4 kernels from XenSource if 32-bit is okay;
J. Baron has put out 64-bit kernel RPMS for RHEL4 if you need 64-bit:
http://people.redhat.com/riel/RHEL4-Xen-HOWTO
and the kernel RPMs here:
http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/RPMS.kernel/
Note, read the howto; you need a different modprobe.conf and initrd than
you need for the xensource provided RHEL kernels.
I think redhat is planning on eventually supporting the rhel4 kernels in
DomU mode (Note, this is what I have heard; I''m not a redhat guy)

A little post-mortem on this, from my perspective anyway... I took a freshly installed linux box, added the RHEL 4.4 Xen 3.4.0.1 rpm from Xensource to make dom0, and booted into the jailtime image with the same kernel.
