[Xen-users] Xen 3.0 and Gentoo: basic network issues

[Nathan Tibbetts <nttibbetts@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

  I just joined the mailing list becuase I've run into a problem that I've found absolutely no solution for and that no one else seems to have ever had either. I'm running Gentoo with a 2.6.15 kernel on an IBM x306 and I installed Xen 3.0 from the portage tree.

  Now I was able to configure and compile a dom0 and domU kernel, boot into Xen using the dom0 kernel and start a vm using the domU kernel.

  My issue is that I have no network connection whatsoever. I have two ethernet ports built into the server that are Intel pro/1000 Gigabit ports. When I boot to the normal Gentoo kernel, they both work fine I can set IP addresses and get a connection, I can run dhcp and get a connection, etc. However, under the Xen kernel, they refuse to work. Now I've tried disabling starting xend on startup just to see before any bridging and virtual interface stuff got set if the ports work, but they still don't. I've also tried just about anything else that might even be remotely related.

  I'm not sure what kind of outputs would be helpful in solving this problem, so just let me know what kind of information is needed and I'll post it up as soon as I get a chance.

 

  Thanks in advance for any assistance.
