Hi.

I'm having a bit of a strange problem with my compaq proliant 3000 and
xen, as my NICs won't show up under the xen kernel; I can't even see them
when I run lspci.

I followed the guide at debian-administration.org
(http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/320), and as you may guess
the distribution running on the machine is Debian GNU/Linux.

Under another, vanilla, kernel (2.6.15.1), it all works fine, but when I
run my costum compiled xen-dom0 kernel (2.6.12.6) I can't see the ethernet
controllers.

I tested the machine with the xen test cd
(http://www.xensource.com/community/xen30testing/index.html) and the
networking worked fine under nativelinux, but when I booted up the xen
kernel on that CD the very same error, as I experienced with my
xen-kernel, occured.

This is the output from lspci when running the 2.6.15.1 kernel:

My grub configuration:
title Xen 3.0 / XenLinux 2.6
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/xen-3.0.gz noreboot
module /boot/xen-linux-2.6.12.6-xen root=/dev/ida/c0d0p6 ro console=tty0
module /boot/xen-modules-2.6.12.6-xen
savedefault
boot

title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.15.1-smp-386
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/kernel-2.6.15.1-smp root=/dev/ida/c0d0p6 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15.1-smp
savedefault
boot

The kernel configuration: http://pub.phelia.biz/maddoc/conf-2.6.12.6-xen.txt
Kernel configuration for the 2.6.15.1 kernel:
http://pub.phelia.biz/maddoc/conf-2.6.15.1.txt

Is this is a bug in xen, or some misconfiguration done by me (most
likely), and if it's the later one, what have I done wrong? :-)
