Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Re: no eth0 in guest: msg#00147

Subject: Re: no eth0 in guest
"modprobe xennet" solved the problem.

Hi,

I'm running FC5 with the current 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5xen0 kernel in Dom0. I
managed to set up several guests:

1) image-file based FC5 installed via xenguest-install.py. this one has
the eth0 device and a working network, but I don't want to use the image
file, but LVM volumes (which seems not possible with xenguest-install.py)

2) a centos 4.2 based on an image file I downloaded from a web site.
this one has no eth0 device in the guest, therefore networking doesn't work.

3) FC4 using LVM volumes, installed via "yum -c
http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/yum-xen.conf --installroot=/mnt -y
groupinstall Base". this one also has no eth0 device in the guest.

4) FC5 using LVM volumes, installed via "yum --installroot=/mnt/ -y
groupinstall base". this one also has no eth0 device in the guest.

in the latter case, ifconfig in Dom0 looks like this:

domain config file:

name = "fc5"
memory = "128"
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5xenU"
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:4c:77:fa' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/vg_data/lv_fc5_root,sda1,w',
'phy:/dev/vg_data/lv_fc5_data,sda2,w',
'phy:/dev/vg_data/lv_fc5_swap,sda3,w' ]
root="/dev/sda1"
extra = "ro selinux=0 3"

on startup, the FC5 domain doesn't complain about missing kernel modules
etc. I also installed the kernel-xenU-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5.i686.rpm in the guest, but that didn't help.

any idea what I have to do to get an eth0 in the guest ?

tnx in advance.
