Hello everyone,
I can’t seem to figure out why when I specify a kick-start;
the network can never be found on a dual bridged xen setup…
However if I do the installation manually it works smoothly….
My configuration;
Xen version
3.1.0-rc7-2950.fc8
running on Fedora 8
The command I’m using to do the kickstart
install is:
virt-install -n test -r 256
\
-f
/var/xen/default/test-default.dsk -s 5 \
-f
/var/xen/default/test-swap.dsk -s 5 \
-p
--location=http://10.1.1.1/cldn \
--nographics \
--bridge=eth0
--mac=00:16:3e:00:00:00 \
--bridge=eth1
--mac=00:16:3e:00:00:01 \
--os-type='linux' \
--vcpus=1 \
-x "ks=http://10.1.1.1/cldn01-ks.cfg"
(even without reference to the second bridge it
doesn’t work)
In the kickstart file; I set the address I want the
virtual machine to assume (for ethernet 0)
If I do a manual install and specify these entries,
everything seems to work… but this link (supposedly automating the
install) does not work:
network --bootproto=static
--device=eth0 --ip=10.1.1.2 --netmask=255.255.255.0--gateway=10.1.1.250 --
--hostname=cldn01.c1
First I get stuck on this screen (with the kickstart)

After I choose eth0 (as this is the network I install
from the http server) it hangs forever here…

… I specifically set the bootproto to ‘not’

My bridges appear to be in place as well:
$>brctl show
bridge
name bridge
id
STP enabled interfaces
eth0
8000.001143eb1579
no
peth0
eth1
8000.001143eb157a
no
peth1
This is my custom bridge script:
#!/bin/sh
dir=$(dirname
"$0")
"$dir/network-bridge"
"$@" vifnum=0 netdev=eth0 bridge=eth0
"$dir/network-bridge"
"$@" vifnum=1 netdev=eth1 bridge=eth1
Perhaps my problem is related to the fact that
netdev = the bridge?
eth0 and eth1 have aliases in my etc/modprob.conf…
could they be conflicting?
Originally I was having problems using the xenbr0
and xenbr1 bridges…. It was always leaving a tmpbridge in my network and
never setting up the bridges properly.
What am I doing wrong?
