However, I am still unable to get my network interface up in dom0. Here is what I did: I created a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-xen-br0 as you suggested. # more /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-xen-br0 DEVICE=xen-br0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=no TYPE=Ethernet DHCP_HOSTNAME= USERCTL=no PEERDNS=yes IPV6INIT=no [I also needed to modify /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions so that the device xen-br0 is not picked as xen but as xen-br0.] Anyway, once dom0 booted, I do the following : # ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up # xend start # ifup xen-br0 I see dhclient running (ps) but I get ======= Determining IP information for xen-br0... xen-br0 failed ====== What am I missing? I verified that eth0 interface would come up as expected and I get an IP address when booted with standard FC3 Linux kernel. Thanks for your help once again, Bharadwaj On Thu, Mar 24, 2005 at 09:42:44PM -0000, Ian Pratt wrote: > > [I believe steps 2 amd 3 will be done by executing > > xend start.
