Description Brian Wheeler 2006-02-20 13:38:59 EST 
Description of problem:
Trying to use xenguest-install.py to install fedora core 5 test 3 into a guest
instance fails because the network isn't functional.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-xen-hypervisor-2.6.15-1.1955_FC5
xen-3.0.1-0.20060208.fc5.2


How reproducible:
Every time, including in FC5t2 and earlier

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install FC5t3 as normal
2. install Xen package later (though it shouldn't matter)
3. reboot into hypervisor
4. resize main OS size with "xm mem-set Domain-0 192"
5. flush the IP tables with "iptables -F"
6. run xenguest-install.py with ftp url for installation (I'm using
ftp://ftp.ussg.indiana.edu/pub/linux/fedora/linux/core/test/4.92/i386/os This is
the same URL I used for the base install!)
7. answer english, us keyboard, and DHCP for networking.
8. wait for DHCP address.
9. wait wait wait
10. Get failed to connect to FTP server
  
Actual results:
FTP fails to connect (HTTP too)

Expected results:
Installation should begin

Additional info:
Here's the network information which may be important:
* dom0's IP is from DHCP, on a public network (i.e. its not 192.168 or 10.)
* dom0's eth0 has this network address
* dom0's peth0 has no IP address (hw addr is FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF)
* dom0's veth[1234567] are all not up and have no hw address
* while the domU is running, here's the output for the vif's (and bridge) in
question:

* iptables-save data looks like:

So it looks like the dropped packets on vif1.0 are a symptom, but I cannot tell
what's causing it.

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2006-02-20 15:01:50 EST 
Is the DHCP server that hands out an IP to your machine configured so that it
will hand out IPs to the guests as well?  The default network config is
bridging, so will basically be as though the guests were on the public net as
well.  You can change this by modifying /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
Comment 3 Brian Wheeler 2006-02-20 15:27:33 EST 
Yes, that seems to be it.  I supplied a static IP and it was ok.  This might be
a good one to put in the wiki page.

Thanks!

It's actually covered a bit in the users' guide, but I've added a snippet to the
wiki as well.
