[Fedora-xen] No adsl in dom0 - Fedora 7

[Arik Raffael Funke]

Hi,

I am having problems establishing an adsl connection in dom0 (but ONLY 
in dom0, without xen everything is ok). Following is my setup/situation:

1. Installed clean Fedora 7 (with virtualization option selected)
2. Booted with the non-xen kernel & setup adsl. Adsl connection works 
without any problems.
3. Rebooted with xen kernel into dom0.
4. adsl connection can no longer be activated

These are literally ALL the steps I took with the system. Thus, it is as 
"out of the box" as it can get.


When trying to activate the adsl-connection in the (fedora?) gnome 
network configuration utility with the "activate" button I get (after 
about 1-2 minutes):

Cannot activate network device dslModem!

and in the textbox in the error message window it says:

/usr/sbin/adsl-start: line 215:  3470 Terminated              $CONNECT 
"$@" > /dev/null 2>&1


In /var/messages it says:

Can anybody tell me why adsl does not work in the fedora 7 dom0? It used 
to work just fine with fedora 6. How do I get it to work?


I have however remarked another detail that I believe might be linked to 
(or the cause of?) my problem.

In dom0 when trying to bring up my adsl connection I get the following 
line before the first error occurs:

Jul 17 00:08:21 gaia pppd[3494]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1

This line puzzles me because in four years I have never seen 
"/dev/pts/1" used to connect to my adsl modem. It was ALWAYS 
"/dev/pts/0"! Of course this might a perfectly appropriate renaming of 
devices as happens a lot with xen but...

Can anybody shed any light on this?

Cheers,
Arik
