Re: [Xen-users] centos jailtime image -- no network

["Jerry Amundson" <jamundso@xxxxxxxxx>]

A little post-mortem on this, from my perspective anyway... I took a
freshly installed linux box, added the RHEL 4.4 Xen 3.4.0.1 rpm from
Xensource to make dom0, and booted into the jailtime image with the
same kernel. It came up on the network without me even touching it.

That kernel is certainly the problem - no xennet module built into it.

I assume you renamed the files from jailtime for root and swap, but
created home yourself, not that it matters.

Nor should you need to ifconfig - the jailtime image has eth0
configured for DHCP, the builtin kernel module gets the vif from dom0,
and booting the image starts the interface. Like magic.....
