[Xen-users] XCP 1.0 beta Realtek 8168 nic not working
I''m trying to build out a test cloud using XCP 1.0.0 beta with 3
machines of
18 cores total (Phenom II 1090s). I''ve built three machines, installed
XCP
1.0.0 beta on them and they all three
have the same problem - the Realtek network cards don''t work. The
following
is the output from lspci
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B
PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03)
I also put in an Intel e1000 card in each box and it works. I booted off a
live Ubuntu 10.04 CD and both network cards worked beautifully. I booted up
on a CentOS 5.5 DVD and went into Rescue mode and both cards worked.
Is this a driver issue with XCP 1.0.0 beta?
If I plug a network cable into eth0 (the Realtek port) I get this from dmesg
r8169: eth0: link up
xenbr0: port 1(eth0) entering forwarding state
Things seem fine. Output of ethtool
[root@cloud1 ~]# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: Not reported
Advertised auto-negotiation: No
Speed: 10Mb/s
Duplex: Half
Port: MII
PHYAD: 0
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: off
Supports Wake-on: pumbg
Wake-on: g
Current message level: 0x00000033 (51)
Link detected: yes
ethtool says the device has auto-negotiate off and running half duplex. Any
attempts to use ethtool to fix it fail.
So my biggest frustration is that this network card works on CentOS 5.5. The
main difference between CentOS and XCP is kernel so is this a kernel issue
or is there a configuration issue?

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I''ll
use
Windows."
Now they have two problems.

RE: [Xen-users] XCP 1.0 beta Realtek 8168 nic not working
Hi Grant:
I probably can’t help much because I am Xen newbie but I am having a similar
problem with the Xen 3.4.3 kernel. After googling I found this:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=kmod-r8168 . Right now I am trying to
configure the boot loader to load the new driver but I am using cobbler (also as
a newbie) so things are proceeding slowly. If it works, I will let you know.
Regards,
Joe
