Hi Everyone,
I’m having some issues with FC5/XEN and network
functionality in dom0.
Here’s what I did:
- Installed FC5 off the DVD iso available from the Redhat
site; (did a vanilla server install – no X, added dev tools)
- Setup my eth0 interface. I can access network
/ internet no probs.
- I did a ‘yum update’ to get all latest
patches. Installed, no probs. (updates current as of 7/21/06)
- I did a ‘yum install kernel-xen0’ as per the
FC XEN HowTo. Installed no probs.
Rebooted into the xen0 kernel and I discovered that I
can’t ping or access any network outside the system itself. I
can ping the IP I assigned to eth0 but all other pings are being returned
as” “. This tells me that there’s some sort of
routing / firewall issue, however I have SELINUX and the firewall both disabled
in Linux.
I Googled for a solution and ensured that both the IPROUTE
and BRIDGING packages are installed.
Here’s something I did find. If I stop the
network-bridge script (/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge stop) networking
returns. I know I’ll need the bridge interface up for what I
need this box to do.
Please help.
Thanks for your assistance,
Adam.
