Problems with Xen (kernel-xen0-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4) and Intel Corporation 82562ET/EZ/GT/GZ Ethernet
Hello,
I have been trying to get Xen working with the most recent kernel builds from Rawhide. When I boot using Xen and kernel-xen0 the network fails and I get tracebacks on the console.
Booting starts as expected but starting eth0 seems to take a little longer than normal. The problems begin when NTP is started, booting pauses here for quite a few seconds and then a traceback appears. Booting eventually continues with these pauses and tracebacks. When the system is finally up I can login is root and the network appears to be up (according to ifconfig) but I cannot ping any other local devices and the RX and TX values for eth0 remain at zero.
Attached is a console log from booting - the interesting stuff is towards the end, the output of lspci, and my grub.conf
I am running FC4T1 with kernel and xen updated from Rawhide:
kernel-xen0-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4 kernel-smp-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4 kernel-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4 kernel-xenU-2.6.11-1.1226_FC4
The Ethernet port works fine under the standard SMP kernel.
Is anyone else seeing this?
Keith.

Yes, with FC4t2: 2.6.11-1.1226_FC4xen0 #1 SMP Mon Apr 4 21:35:09 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
With bridging, the machine was hardly usable; switching to NAT seemed to fix things, but under heavy load I see similar tracebacks and slab corruption.
