Hi David,

that means, that the "virtual" CPU cannot be patched. Its the same if 
you use a P4. In the "real" machine (no xen) the module loads and 
patches your cpu microcode, if you boot into xen you get the very same 
error even on a intel cpu. So don't worry about it.

I've the same entries also from my working xen-kernel on my laptop.
In VMware the xen-kernel (7398) still doesn't have a working eth0.

I've just noticed the following message during startup:

Checking/updating CPU microcodeFATAL: Error inserting microcode 
(/lib/modules/2.6.13-15c-xen/kernel/arch/xen/i386/kernel/microcode.ko): 
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

looking in dmesg I get:

microcode: Unknown symbol sys_munlock
microcode: Unknown symbol sys_mlock

Does this mean the kernel modules are built for a Intel not AMD chip ? it's 
funny it works on my Celleron server and not my AMD Athlon XP board.

I have tried both 7313 and 7398 with MANDATORY_DEVICES set to eth0 and still 
the Dom0 networking doesn't work on my Athlon XP machine, whereare 7398 works 
fine on my Dell Server.

With the packets from Garloff in my old Dell Inspiron 7500 eth0 is 
working with 3Com Corporation 3cCFE575CT CardBus

My first try was in a VMware, I've just installed the same packets as 
on the laptop with no luck. I'll try the newer packets this evening.

Nothing special. I've configured the network during install by yast 
(with boot.iso). I installed the original Xen kernel, boot this one 
and eth0 was gone. I've deleted the card and reconfigured in yast, 
but I've only a working eth0 with the default kernel. Update to the 
version of garloff (7313), boot the new Xen kernel and eth0 was 
working again. 

MANDATORY_DEVICES is set to "eth0".

Update, I have tried an e100 card and networking still doesn't work when 
booted into Xen.

I have a Dell server with SuSE 10.0 working fine after installing the latest 
Xen RPMs. However I have now tried to get SuSE 10.0 /  Xen working on an AMD 
Athlon XP board and I am experiencing the same network problems. 

I am guessing that this could be a network card kernel module problem, the 
Dell has broadcom Gigabit Ethernet interface if I remember correctly, whereas 
the AMD board uses a SIS900 interface. I have tried a 3COM 10/100 card in the 
AMD to no effect and if I can find one I intend to try an Intel E100 card as 
these are usually well behaved and the kernel modules mature and stable. 

Sorry I can't be of any more help but I can vouch that Xen can be got working. 
I am putting together my own howto as I've had a lot of problems getting the 
network working in DomUs, my answer to which was to disable boot.coldplug in 
the runlevel ediitor of the DomU. There are a few other tweaks to go but that 
will at least get it working, I still haven't managed to get a swap partition 
working in the DomUs so that's on my list.

On a related topic I have purchased a Xen VM from a hosting company and I have 
moved my website, email and webmail to there. Performance is brilliant and 
the cost is very low. This company is using Xen on Debian stable and it works 
well. I still miss YAST, but I'm getting used to apt-get.

Hi Juerg,

i already updated to RPMs-100, but the Problem still exists.
How do you configurate your Network?

[opensuse] Network Problems after Xen Installation

2005-10-30 Thread Andreas Ehmich
Hello,

I installed Xen with this manual
http://www.opensuse.org/Installing_Xen3

After reboot my network interfaces doesn't work.
Is there a manual available howto configurate the xen bridge?
Can this be done by YaST?

Regards, Andi
