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

[Kirk Allan]

Check that all the following MAC addresses are in sync.  For example
purposes assume the MAC to be used is 00:11:22:33:44:55.

1) On the host system, check the MAC used in the vm startup script. 
The default script would be /etc/xen/vm/vm1.  Look for the line 'vif = [
'mac=00:11:22:33:44:55' ]'

2) In the running vm, check which eth devices are shown in
/sys/class/net.  For each ethX directory shown cat the address file. 
For example if you have a eth1 the 'cat /sys/class/net/eth1/address'. 
There should be one eth device that has the address of 
00:11:22:33:44:55.  In your case it looks like it should be eth0.

3) In the running vm,  check the interface configuration files in
/etc/sysconfig/network.  There should be the file
'ifcfg-eth-id-00:11:22:33:44:55.

The MAC addresses from all three steps should match.  If not then there
is some configuration issue.
