Hello, i''ve installed xen on ubuntu 7.x after first tests and working xen machines i rebooted the host. Now, my former network card(eth0) does not exist anymore, it comes up as eth1 with the new mac. I was able to fix that issue by setting the mac on boot and changing some entrys in udev net rules. However, now if i start xend my network host system is not working any more. I would like to know: - How can i fix the issue permanent my network card has not set a MAC with FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF - How can i use xen again? Thank you guys in advance, marco _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Re: [Xen-users] xend MAC:FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF permanent set
Since Ubuntu is a Debian derivative, you may change the following file: /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules That or change the bridged ethernet to eth1 in xen config.

Hello, sorry for my late reply.>Since Ubuntu is a Debian derivative, you may change the following file: >/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rulesi did that already, otherwise the system would not come up, as the MAC address is set to that odd value already at BIOS time, no iam not joking ;)>That or change the bridged ethernet to eth1 in xen config.maybe i misunderstood your comment, but as the eth1 interface is the former eth0 interface, intelligent as "udev" tries to be, it recognizes a new MAC address and assigns a new interface as it knows it had eth0 before with another MAC, so eth0 goes to eth1, from that point of view i dont know how i could change the bridged ethernet to eth1 as this device does not exists(as long i dont want to stay with the FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF MAC address) best regards, marco Daniel Mealha Cabrita wrote:> Since Ubuntu is a Debian derivative, you may change the following file: > /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules > > That or change the bridged ethernet to eth1 in xen config. > > Em Terça 21 Outubro 2008 11:53, Marco escreveu: > >> Hello, >> >> i''ve installed xen on ubuntu 7.x after first tests and working xen >> machines i rebooted the host. >> Now, my former network card(eth0) does not exist anymore, it comes up as >> eth1 with the new mac.
