Re: AW: AW: [Xen-users] XEN 3.4 - Problems with eth0 (link down)



Hi,

I've tried a new r8169.c file out from the kernels.org and put them into the right folders.
After making a "make kernels" the compilation stops at this file.
So I think the complete files which are used by xen needs to be adapted in any case.
Otherwise it would be very easy to use a complete new kernel.

We need to add the newer revisions to the existing xen-patched r8169.c file.
What for a version of XEN are you using? Which Realtek are you using?

Cheers,
Maik

Hi,

I have the sources from

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=5&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#RTL8111B/ RTL8168B/RTL8111/RTL8168%3Cbr%3ERTL8111C/RTL8111CP/RTL8111D(L)%3Cbr %3ERTL8168C/RTL8111DP

They compile without any change. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to integrate them into the linux tree. Because of the discussion to move to another kernel tree, I also see no use in taking any effort into this integration, as an out-of-kernel compile works pretty well.

Note: I use V8.011.00.

BR,
Carsten.

Hi,

I think the card which I've build in, is not well implemented in the
patched r8169.c module.
So the new revisions of this card needs to be updated in this
particular file.

Has sombody expirience with that?

Cheers,
Maik

Hi,

not 100% sure, but isn't the 8111b the transceiver of an 8168B, for
which you have to compile your own driver r8168.ko from source
supplied
at Realtek? At least I had to do so. r8169.ko which is supplied will
not
work.

BR,

Betreff: [Xen-users] XEN 3.4 - Problems with eth0 (link down)

Hi,

I've inside my new server a Realtek 8111b and with XEN it displays in
the Console: "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP) eth0: Link down".
If I boot it via the normal Debian Kernel via Aptitude the Interface
comes up and a network connection is working.
Over XEN the Interface is still dead and not responding. The only
thing is that I can see "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP) eth0: link down".

I've made the "make world", "make install", "depmod 2.6.18-8-xen".
So I did the usual stuff, which I've done for the other 3.2.x
installations as well, but without any success.

What could might be the reason for this.
Thanks.

Cheers,
Maik
