[Xen-devel] problems with falling off the network on enabling bridging

I'm writing in the hopes that someone might have some insight into some
networking problems I've been encountering.

I'm working with 2 dual Opteron 242 boxes from penguin which are
supposed to be equivalent except for the memory configured the one
falling off the net (shemp) has 2GB and the one working fine (curly) has
8GB.


Because of issues I've seen with bridging on machines with multiple
interfaces I have a separate brsetup script and set network-script to
/bin/true in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp. /etc/brsetup is nearly identical
for curly and shemp -
curly:
#!/bin/csh -f
/usr/sbin/brctl addbr xen-br0
/sbin/ifconfig xen-br0 172.16.9.211 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
/usr/sbin/brctl addif xen-br0 eth0
/sbin/ip r d 172.16.9.0/24 dev eth0
/sbin/ip r a 172.16.9.0/24 dev xen-br0
/sbin/ip r d default via 172.16.9.1 dev eth0
/sbin/ip r a default via 172.16.9.1 dev xen-br0
shemp:
#!/bin/csh -f
/usr/sbin/brctl addbr xen-br0
/sbin/ifconfig xen-br0 172.16.9.212 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
/usr/sbin/brctl addif xen-br0 eth0
/sbin/ip r d 172.16.9.0/24 dev eth0
/sbin/ip r a 172.16.9.0/24 dev xen-br0
/sbin/ip r d default via 172.16.9.1 dev eth0
/sbin/ip r a default via 172.16.9.1 dev xen-br0

About 2 minutes after running /etc/brsetup on shemp, shemp will stop
responding to pings.

They're both running the same kernel from changeset 1.1354:
kmacy@shemp cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.6.8.1-xen0 (kmacy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 3.2
20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)) #3 Sun Oct 3 16:38:26 PDT 2004
kmacy@curly cat /proc/version

20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)) #3 Sun Oct 3 16:38:26 PDT 2004


The difference between the dmesg is small:
