RE: [Xen-users] DomU dhcp issue

["Bernard Golden" <bgolden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dom0 runs dhcp. All other clients on network receive dhcp addresses no
problem.

I did a vanilla install of suse 10.1 as DomU. It comes up just fine, but
does not get an address. If I execute dhclient it goes out and gets an
address no problem

I looked in /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp. In it, it has DHCLIENT_BIN=""

According to the comment just above that entry, that means it should try
dhcpcd, the dhclient. So it seems like the file is set up correctly.

So it seems like it should go out and get an address, but doesn't. I'm not
very familiar with dhcp (as it works great on all other machines on network)
so am not sure where I should look to see if dhcp client is configured to
run at system startup, nor do I know where the log is located. Guidance
toward these two things would be very appreciated.

That very vague description. This can be caused by y lot of things. Is you
dhcp client configured to run at system startup? Do any dhcp requests reach
your dhcp server? What do the logs say?
