[xenpreview-dev] eth0 troubles with Xen guest on SLES 10 RC3

[Rian Hunter]

I have a default install of SLES 10 RC3 with the Xen packages. When I
install a guest using the Virtual Machine Management module in YaST it
does install fine except networking does not work. When the VM boots up
the init scripts say: "No configuration found for eth0". Which is
strange. I've tried going into YaST and configuring it, nothing changes
but it does say: "The device does not have a driver module. The driver
may be built in the kernel."

Is this a known bug? Or am I doing something wrong. On the host system
ifconfig yields:
