[Xen-users] PCI NIC passthrough problem with RH 2.6.19 kernel
Hi, I have a perfectly running Xen 3.0.4 installation with kernel 2.6.16-42 with PCI passthrough for my internet interface (ethernet). But with I boot my 2.6.19 xen kernel on dom0, I''m unable to have the NIC working in domU. I can see the NIC both in domU and dom0 with lspci. All other network interfaces are working correctly (ethernet in dom0 and bridges). Here is my entry in grub : title Xen-3.0.4 root (hd0,0) kernel /xen-3.0.4-1.gz dom0_mem=768M module /vmlinuz-2.6.19.2-dom0 root=/dev/md3 CONSOLE=/dev/tty1 noreboot pciback.permissive pciback.hide=(00:0b.0) Here is my xen config for this host : # burns gw kernel = "/usr/local/xen/boot/vmlinux-2.6-xen-tc-domU" #kernel = "/usr/local/xen/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.19-xen-domU" memory = 96 name = "burns" vif = [ ''mac=00:16:3E:78:14:8F, bridge=br0'',''mac=00:11:25:8D:3E:EA, bridge=br1'' ] disk = [''phy:/dev/homervg/burns_sda1,sda1,w'', ''phy:/dev/homervg/burns_sda2,sda2,w''] root = "/dev/sda1 ro" extra = "gentoo=nodevfs" pci = [ ''00:0b.0'' ] - 00:0b.0 if the PCI address of my NIC. (Realtek 8139) - the driver is compiled into the kernel. - I tried with both 2.6.16 and 2.6.19 as kernel domU - an ifconfig eth0 in domU show the nic, but dhcpcd do not get the IP from the cable modem. What should I do ? Regards, _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
