Fwd: Etch: XEN domU networking
Are you referring to setting an IP address in DomU's configuration file?
If it is so, you don't have to.
Although it was present in some HOWTOs, and i believe xen-tools create
such configuration files, it is not necessary. You can leave DomU's
network configuration to just vif=['bridge=xenbr0'] , and leave out IP
configuration. Then configure DomU's ip in usual way:
/etc/network/interfaces within DomU.
I also had to specify mac='00:16:3E:xx:xx:xx' within that vif=
statement because since udev update in etch, every time I reboot DomU
it looses ethx and discovers ethx+1 since udev persistent net rules
identifies eth0 by it's mac address. So it had to be fixed instead
randomly assigned. (replace xx with your own unique hex digits)

Hello everyone
Today I've found the following problem: when I start domU under xen with
stock debian kernel (linux-image-2.6.18-4-xen-686) domU has no network
interfaces. Discovering the problem I found that this kernel was
compiled with:
# CONFIG_IP_PNP is not set
so it does not allow to pass network interface parameters to kernel when
boot.
So how do I need to set up domU with this kernel to use under default
Etch installation ? Or should I instead compile and use my own kernel ?
