[Xen-users] Xen VM Create Question

[Randy Katz <rkatz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

dom0 CentOS 5.6 with updates and Virtualization group installed.
domU CentOS 5.6 install

I have configured a conf file and a kickstart and the install goes well, 
however, it seems to be reverting to a dhcp install rather then grabbing 
the eth
information I give it. Also, it creates an ifcfg-eth0.bak file with the 
info I give it with a different MAC address, not sure how it gets
either. If there is anything you know about this please let me know.

If I remove ifcfg-eth0, mv ifcfg-eth0.bak to ifcfg-eth0 and remove the 
HWADDR and do a /etc/init.d/network restart
it works fine with the correct IP.

ifcfg-eth0

# Xen Virtual Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR=00:16:3e:06:33:04


ifcfg-eth0.bak

# Xen Virtual Ethernet
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
DHCPCLASS=
HWADDR=00:16:3E:72:6B:32
IPADDR=192.168.1.23
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
ONBOOT=yes
