I just noticed this (and I think reported in fedora-devel) that under a new FC6 install using kernel-xen-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 the 'eth0' device would DHCP and obtain an IP address, but then would be unable to ping even the default route, and would not respond to 'ethtool' commands, only stating "Link: Yes". 'mii-tool' just barfs saying "Operation not supported". Problem also seems to be in kernel-xen-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 although I have some problems blocking testing there. I have seen this on an IBM server and a Dell desktop, both using Broadcom adaptors. Sounds to be the same issues as http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-07/msg00599.html http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-08/msg00553.html Working (until IRQ bug kills it) 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 alias eth0 tg3 # lspci |grep -i eth 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 01) Working 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 alias eth0 bnx2 # lspci |grep -i eth 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 11) 06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 11) And this BZ looks like the same problem, I'll add my info there unless anybody tells me I'm on the wrong track.. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=213991 -- Fedora-xen mailing list Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
