unfortunaly new problems comes. :(
I noticed long ago that after install xen, 'halt' didn't work, it just acted
like reboot. So I wanna try it on this 1.3, and it turned that it still just
reboots the machine. And I trid this on two xen machines, both worked this
way.
More serious problems is after this reboot, eth0 lost again. I didn't change
anything since eth0 was up. I'm sure the .config has set e100=y. So I 'make
clean' and 'make world' 'make install' again, still didn't work.
Then I add printk("hello world from e100_init_module\n") in e100_main.c. and
then just 'make linux-xen0', 'cp /install/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.26-xen0'. From
dmesg, can see this:
e100:selftest timeout
e100:failed to initialize, instance #0
hello world from e100_init_module
While if I use just reboot to standard linux or xen 1.2, eth0 works fine.
Then I changed the grub, use 1.2 kernal+1.3 module, it shows that e100
selftest ok, eth0 is ready, but surely invalid guest OS image. I also tried
1.3 kernal+1.2 module, just didn't go to e100 step. My question here is when
useing 1.2 kernal+1.3 module, why the 'hello world from e100_init_module'
didn't appear?
After these two tries, I changed the grub back to normal 1.3 kernal+1.3
module, and, it magically worked, eth0 is back again.
Then I rebooted again to see what'd happend, and again, eth0 was lost. same
as the info above. And I tried all these stuff again, still no eth0.But
still, if I loaded into linux or xen 1.2, it's fine, so it seems not network
card's problem. And also with another machine, all works well. It's network
card driver is not e100 though, it's 3c59x.
Anyone can help? I was rebooting like crazy, really frustrated. :(
Thanks,
Yan
