Hoping someone can help me track down an issue I'm experiencing on a KVM machine I built recently. I currently have 4 VMs built and running all using virtio_net. The VMs are stock builds of Debian Lenny, Ubuntu 8.10, Ubuntu 8.04, and one with Ubuntu 8.04 with the 2.6.27 kernel in 8.10. The network is fine on the stock 8.04 and Debian VMs, though those were also the first two ones to be booted. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. On the VMs, the network cards are detected, but fail to come up. If I do ifconfig -a, the card shows, however if I try to bring it up, it always says: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address The address isn't in use or anything, so no reason I can think of why it can't assign it. It recognizes the device, however can't bring it up. All the VMs have unique MAC addresses, randomly generated. One of the ones that doesn't work is using 93:01:dc:a0:f0:57. Has anyone experienced this before or have any ideas to help point me in the right direction? Thanks!
