Hi everyone,

Here is what my Xen Dom0 syslog daemon reports after a freeze of my CentOs DomU network interface :

It's apparently an Irq conflict but i don't know why?

Do someone have an idea?

Thanks.

Hello everybody,

I've finished with pci export from DomU to Dom0 (Debian Etch) but now i have a new problem, and a big one.

My ethernet card is dropping packets but after some time (i can't tell how)
It can work for a day (not in production so not hard tested) and then all packets are dropped.

Look at the ifconfig output :

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
          inet addr:192.168.9.52  Bcast:192.168.9.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::213:72ff:fe0f:1c6a/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:10505 errors:0 dropped: 352 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:2921 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:2223312 (2.1 MiB)  TX bytes:555445 (542.4 KiB)
          Base address:0xcce0 Memory:fe3e0000-fe400000

Today, nothing was done on it but, a few minutes before, i realised that it was down.

Dmesg output :

...

The interface is still up.

I saw while googling that it could be an hardware problem but this was not in a xen environnement so...

Anybody have seen this before?

Thanks.

Best Regards.
Julien.
