Assigned for triage. RHEL4.7 has the pv-on-hvm drivers built into the (bare-metal, FV) kernel package. Thus, loading the kmod-xenpv-0.1.10-el4 package will result in the kmod-xenpv modules failing when you try to (forcibly) load them. the xen-vnif you are seeing is the one built-into the std kernel package now. Simply put, all you have to have are the proper modprobe.d/xen module for xen-vbd and the alias eth[x] xen-vnif entry in the modprobe.conf in order for the xenpv drivers to be used by the FV guest. So, unload the kmod-xenpv package & use the in-kernel xenpv(hvm) drivers. If you continue to have problem, either re-open this BZ, or open a new one with a more appropriate title &/or problem statement. |
