Steps to reproduce: 1. Boot Fedora as an HVM 2. Look at /dev Expected Behavior: eth0 is your network device (as specified by the hypervisor), as per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673268 Actual Behavior: p3p1 is your network device, as Fedora does device naming as per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ConsistentNetworkDeviceNaming It's a little nontrivial to figure out if you're running as HVM, but you can probably figure it out looking at ACPI, for example: httpd@vm-6858:~/lab$ dmesg | grep paravirt [ 0.000000] Booting paravirtualized kernel on KVM [ 0.000000] ACPI: RSDP 000fdab0 00014 (v00 BOCHS ) [ 0.000000] ACPI: RSDT 1fffdc40 00034 (v01 BOCHS BXPCRSDT 00000001 BXPC 00000001) [...] From the same disk image, except running inside HVM: [ 0.000000] Booting paravirtualized kernel on bare hardware [ 0.000000] ACPI: RSDP 000ea010 00024 (v02 Xen) [ 0.000000] ACPI: XSDT 0fff8b70 00034 (v01 Xen HVM 00000000 HVML 00000000) [...] The vendor probably has reasonable information. Try also /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name /sys/class/dmi/id/product_version /sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor Let us know if the bug component classification is wrong.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
