Re: AW: [Xen-users] Gutsy Xen 3.1 2.6.22-9-xen network-bridge problem



Hi,

This post really made my day, as i'm having the same problem myself.
Thanks for writing out the problem so clearly! I'm using the same kernel, and 
have been looking for an answer since yesterday myself.
Could you please let us know whether the ethtool trick works?
I'll try it as well as soon as i'm home in an hour or so, and let you guys know 
of the outcome!

Thanks!

Kind regards,

Bart Verwilst

Yes. I thought that's in the link?

 

Whatever, use that command ethtool - K eth0 tx off on your interfaces (on
dom0).

 

I don't know if that is necessary, but I use it on every interface /
bridges.

You can put that command into the xen networking scripts. Don't know exactly
where.

Hi Hinrich,

 

So do you think it's because of this checksum offloading? What shall I do to
get rid of it? Couldn't understand from the message...

 

would "ethtool - K eth0 tx off" be the right command?

 

Thanks for your interest and Best regards,

 

Emre

I had the same problem. It's a checksum problem I guess. (was in my case)

this might help (hopefully)

Hi,

 

I have a strange problem with my networking setup. I read all forums around
the world where people had similar problems, but couldn't find a solution. 

 

I have an Attansic L1 gigeth chip on my mainboard. This chip works OK in
stock Ubuntu Gutsy (development) 2.6.22-9-generic kernel.

 

When I boot into Xen, and after the bridge is created, the network stops
working. Some info:

 

- If I do " /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge stop "  then the network comes
back...

- I can ping sites, but can never "communicate" with them. For example, I
can "telnet" to 22th port of an sshd server, receive the "welcome to xyz
sshd server etc." but can never send any command. Same for telnet/http/ftp
connections. The system also cannot resolve DNS names, but can still ping.
Same thing happens inside the DomUs. 

- My /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp has " (network-script network-bridge) " and "
(vif-script vif-bridge) " directives.

 

ifconfig -a output:

When I run  "  network-bridge start ", the xenbr0 interface is created,
brctl shows the bridge is created with two interfaces inside. But, network
doesn't work. It seems that I can receive packets but not send. 

 

Syslog shows:

 

atl1 0000:03:00.0: Unable to enable MSI: -1
atl1 0000:03:00.0: eth0 link is up 100 Mbps full duplex

xenbr0: port 2(peth0) entering learning state
xenbr0: topology change detected, propagating
xenbr0: port 2(peth0) entering forwarding state

 

Do you have any idea what is causing this? I can give more information if
requested. (can't issue the network-bridge start command now as it will
disconnect me from the machine if I do so, I'm remotely connected at the
moment) 

 

P.S. I tried also with a USB ethernet card, same result.

 

Thanks for any insight,

 

Best regards,

 

Emre
