Subject: [Xen-users] windows 2003

I have finally gotten one version of windows 2003 r2 x64 installed as a guest.

 

The bad news is no network.

 

The network tab says it’s a realtek 8139 when I know it is a intel.  I tried downloading the intel drivers and they wont install says it’s the wrong hard ware.   Is this common that it uses a 8139 as a generic network card?

 

Also the network card shows

 

The device can not find enough free resources to use.

 

I get that same message for the vga adapter and an unrecognized pci device.

 

Any body have any ideas of what to disable or try to make this work?

 

 

Thanks

Mike

 

 

Are you saying that your REAL network card is an Intel one, or that you've set your vm configuration file to say it's an Intel network adapter? There is three (I think) options for network devices within QEMU, which is what your Windows installation will see - Windows don't see your REAL HARDWARE, just what QEMU tells it there is, and the network card by default is a RealTek 8139, but you can select another one in the config for your VM.

 

I would try another network card, something like:

vif = [ 'type=ioemu, model=ne2k_pci' ]

I believe that QEMU supports (that's what qemu-doc.html says): ne2k_pci, rll8139, smc91c111 and lance

So, it may be that the 64-bit driver for rtl8139 isn't working right - try another one and see if that works any better...
