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.
