In fact, in one case, I have a machine that has both SLES 9 and FC3. When I build Xen on SLES 9 and boot Dom0, I can recreate the problem. On the same machine, when I build Xen on FC3 and boot Dom0, the problem does not occur. I built Xen the same way in both instances; the setups are the same with regards to Xen, the only variable (and a big one) is the distro. >Have you tried my suggestion of adding 'promisc' to the ifconfig up >lines in the script? > > Yes, and the problem still occurred. >Thanks, >Ian > > >
