My dom0 has kernel 2.6.20-2931.fc7xen whereas the fully virtualised domU has kernel 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7. I wanted a static IP address for the domU thus I specified it during installation + in the xen config file. Notwithstanding all my efforts to tell it that it has to use a static IP address, whenever domU boots it always look for a DHCP server to get its IP address from. Even changing the lines in ifcfg-eth0 to define a static IP address is not a solution. With next reboot it still wants a DHCP server to provide the IP address. Changing ifcfg-eth0 + issuing an "service network restart" works as long as there is no reboot. As soon as I reboot the odd behaviour prevails. Where may act to change this behaviour? costa ------------------------- domU xen config file -------------------- import os, re arch = os.uname()[4] if re.search('64', arch): arch_libdir = 'lib64' else: arch_libdir = 'lib' kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader" builder='hvm' memory = 256 shadow_memory = 8 name = "Test_2_FC7" vif = [ 'type=ioemu, ip=192.168.2.29, mac=00:16:3e:00:00:11, bridge=xenbr0' ] disk = [ \ 'file:/home/XEN/images/FC7_disk_2.img,hda,r', \ 'phy:/dev/cdrom,hdb:cdrom,r', \ ] on_poweroff = 'destroy' on_reboot = 'restart' on_crash = 'restart' device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm' boot = "c" sdl=1 vnc=0 stdvga=0 serial='pty' usbdevice='tablet' ____________________________________________________________________________________ Tonight's top picks.
