(then current) but couldn't get any help from the kernel maintainers to
successfully build suitable kernel rpms. In the given conditions I

Thanks Geza,

Unfortunately switching distros for the sake of xen is not an option for me. I am happy to build RPMs from existing source if it fixes this issue. Anyone else encountered similar problem ?

Many months ago, I ran into a similar problem as Geza: networking would not work. I switched the host (Domain0) to Debian, running the "unstable" version (of the 2.0.x series, I believe; I am fairly certain it is not 3.0.x, as this was before 3.0.x was released officially)

My DomainU's are all Mandriva, though :-)

I am thinking of upgrading to the latest 3.0.x (I have another machine I can test things on first) but wanted to see what sort of bugs others are experiencing first.

I would like to have my host system as Mandriva, preferably installed via RPM. I suspect Mandriva Cooker, or possibly the 2007.0 tree that is in "devel" may have more up-to-date builds than the pre-release snapshot of 3.0.0, though I have not yet looked.

Your problem, however, Jeffery, sounds like you are trying to run a DomU that you were previously running under 2.0.x and are now trying to run on a 3.0.x system?
