[Fedora-xen] eth0 not coming up in domU

[Duncan Morgan]

Stephen,

Kernel is 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5.xenU

I've found that the problem was caused because the 2.4 based guest OS (White
Box Linux) didn't support modprobe.conf so didn't load the 

CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND

Module. I've recompiled the kernel so that this module is built in and it
resolved the issue.

Thanks for your reply,
Duncan

Which domU kernel?  If it's not a recent (post-Xen-3.0.0) one, you may
be out of luck: XenSource changed the domU ABI before the final 3.0.0
release.
