           Summary: Networking not working in dom0 on a compaq proliant
                    3000, can't find ethernet controllers with lspci.
                    Networking works with a vanilla kernel.
           Product: Xen
           Version: 3.0 (general)
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: Hardware Support
        AssignedTo: xen-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: maddoc@xxxxxxxxx


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. Running the pre-built kernel found at
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/downloads/xen-2.0.7-install-x86_32.tgz
won't work, as the computer requires cpqarray.

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(non-xen):

Very thankful for any kind of help. Possible solutions can be tested on the
computer.
