Re: [Xen-users] No eth0 in DomU in FC5

[Jerone Young <jyoung5@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem here is that you need to add the following to your
modpobe.conf of your domU:

alias eth0 xennet

Adding this line will load the driver for your fc5 domU. Redhat compiles
the xennet driver as a module. So you have to load that module to see
the interface.
