Could you provide an exact version of pvops kernel you have built up.

Boris.

Hello,

Finally I managed to get a xen 4.0 working on ubuntu 10.04 with pvops kernel and libvirt. However I am having some problems with networking... after initial installation with netinstall image in hvm mode, when I transform the vm in xen pv (via pygrub with the current ubuntu kernel), networking startEd to act weird...

Basically I'm not using a network script from xen. I define a bridge (manually or via libvirt, the result is the same) and I use vif-bridge to connect the vif to it. But now the weird part comes: I can communicate from domU to dom0, but not the other way around, unless I keep a ping running from domU to dom0... That's right, weird... while trying the ping from dom0 to domU, I used tcpdump both on the bridge, on the vif and on the eth0 in the domU. The arp packets never get to domU, but they appear both in the bridge and the vif sniff's...

Here is the bridge:

ifconfig virbr0
virbr0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Forwarding and iptables don't seem to be the problem, because if I initiate a ping from domU (at the same time as the failing one from dom0), the ping in dom0 starts to work. As soon as I stop the ping in domU, the one in dom0 starts failing again...

Is anyone having the same problem? Is this a bug in the kernel? In dom0 or domU?

Thanks in advance,
Luís
