Description of problem: Adsl connection that works flawlessly on a system started with a non-xen kernel ceases to work when system is started with xen-kernel as dom0. The system is CLEAN and there are NO configuration/environment changes between the two situations EXCEPT the choice of the kernel during grub-stage. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Clean install of Fedora 7 with virtualisation option 2. Start with non-xen kernel and setup adsl (i.e. connect to a adsl modem via a network card). This works flawlessly. 3. Restart with xen-kernel into dom0 4. Retry to connect with adsl: impossible Demonstration: In non-xen kernel: (adsl works) =============================== [root@gaia ~]# pppoe -I eth0 -A Access-Concentrator: ULMC03-10k Got a cookie: ea 64 c2 d8 c9 f6 70 96 72 27 c2 72 eb 23 fb 1d AC-Ethernet-Address: 00:19:e8:6e:70:31 -------------------------------------------------- [root@gaia ~]# In xen-kernel, dom0: (adsl does not work) ========================================= [root@gaia ~]# pppoe -I eth0 -A pppoe: Timeout waiting for PADO packets [root@gaia ~]# In /var/messages it says (in dom0 where adsl connection fails): Jul 17 00:08:21 gaia pppd[3494]: pppd 2.4.4 started by root, uid 0 Jul 17 00:08:21 gaia pppd[3494]: Using interface ppp0 Jul 17 00:08:21 gaia pppd[3494]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/1 Jul 17 00:08:52 gaia pppd[3494]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Jul 17 00:08:52 gaia pppd[3494]: Connection terminated.
