Bug#455195: linux-image-2.6.18-5-vserver-amd64: forcedeth hears no dhcp reply; linux-image-2.6.18-5-xen-vserver-amd64 IS GOOD
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-5-vserver-amd64
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch4
Severity: normal
I've stripped the interfaces(5) config down to a plain ordinary dhcp
host for eth0, loopback etc. No vlans, No bridging, and no other
network interfaces in the system.
For the time being, I wanted to keep it simple, and use a kernel without
xen support, so I installed this release. After rebooting between each
kernel back and forth, dhcp always works in the dom0 xen kernel, and
never has when not using xen. At present none of the vserver guests
have dedicated network interfaces. They're used in development testing
and mostly for isolated compiling of packages (eg, backports, one off
tests, etc).
syslog on the dhcp server says it's assigning the address, tcpdump on
the dhcp server says it's assigning an address, but tcpdump running on
the client only sees dhcp requests until it eventually gives up and goes
idle.
I also attempted to stop util-vserver on the bad kernel, stop
networking, and start it again with no progress on the issue.
