Hi,

try to set STARTMODE='onboot' in the ifcfg-eth0.... in dom0 and domU.

As was in my last email, startmode is set to onboot and I have tried auto as well, but still the darn thing won't come up on domU boot


It also seems to be better to set the config of the domU to a static
MAC-address, because with every boot (and new MAC-address if they are
created random) SuSE creates a new eth-if!

Check in the 30-net_persistent_names.rules that there is only one entry
for eth0 for the wanted MAC-address!

Same thing here, I already have the physical address set in the domU config and I only have 1 line (which I included in my previous posting) in my 30-net_persistent_names.rules which corresponds to the same mac as is set in the domU configuration file. Yet still the interface doesn't come up at domU boot.

Any other ideas on why SuSU 10 wont bring up eth0 on domU boot?
-Kris

Maybe it helps!




I'm experiencing the same problem with xen 3 + suse 10 (kernel-xen 2.6.13).

After Dom0 boot up the following interfaces are present (cable is attached to 
eth0):

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: vif0.0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
    link/ether fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet6 fe80::fcff:ffff:feff:ffff/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOTRAILERS,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
    link/ether 00:e0:81:58:91:11 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

    link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0

The script "network-bridge" runs completely till the last line (verified), but is hanging afterwards as a zombie.
 6368 ?        Z      0:00 [network-bridge] <defunct>


Dom0 brctl show output is:
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
xenbr0          8000.feffffffffff       no              vif0.0
                                                        peth0


When a DomU system is started (suse) a new interface is added in Dom0:

8: vif1.0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop
    link/ether fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff


The config of the DomU system looks like this:

--------------------------------------
name ="domu1"
kernel ="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.13-15-xen"
memory =1024
vif = ['mac=aa:00:00:01:01:00, bridge=xenbr0']
disk = ['phy:sda5,sda1,w']
root ="/dev/sda1 ro"

# network
nics=1
dhcp ="off"
ip="192.168.123.90"
netmask="255.255.255.0"
gateway="192.168.123.254"
hostname="domu1"

extra="3"
--------------------------------------

The following interfaces are present within domu1:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: vif0.0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop
    link/ether fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: veth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop
    link/ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: eth5: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000
    link/ether aa:00:00:01:01:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
5: sit0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop
    link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0



Although the vif-bridge script is stated as vif-script in the xend-config.sxp 
it is not run.
(vif-script        vif-bridge)


... so I tried to add the stuff manually:

brctl addif xenbr0 vif1.0
ifconfig vif1.0 up
(Didn't add the iptables rules yet, because all chains are "ACCEPT")


Leading to (Dom0):

bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
xenbr0          8000.feffffffffff       no              vif0.0
                                                        peth0
                                                        vif1.0


When I configure eth5 (in domu1) with an ip address (192.168.123.90) and try to add a route to the net I get:

# route add -net 192.168.123.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth5
SIOCADDRT: Network is down


Is there another way to get it manually working?

Why would'nt the vif-bridge script run (the script is executable)?

Is there a bridge setup within the DomU required? The bridge userland tools are installed within the domu1.


Best,

Lars
