Re: [Xen-users] How to set up real network cards?

[Frank Luedke <xen@xxxxxxxxxx>]

  Nope, this is not working at all :( I tried an unbind
 using grub and an unbind via echo and pciback at runtime
 but the installation of my virtuals does not start
 (xenguest-installer.py). I always get to the point where
 I configure the network interface in the installer, but
 that's it. Maybe the FC5 Installer is not compatible with
 pci binding?

  I am currently setting up a dummy system via bridged
 network. I will try to reconfigure this to use a real
 NIC after installation. At least I will get some more
 logfiles from the virtual machine :)
