Infrastructure Software

Hi,

on OVM2.2 we are testing machines with SL6X/CentOS6X/RHEL6X.

With PVMs there are no problems.
On HVMs, after installing for instance a SL6.0 and upgrading its kernel from 2.6.32-71 to 2.6.32-131.2.1 or 2.6.32-220.2.1, after reboot the machine the network is not loaded. Below is the configuration with the kernel 2.6.32-71:

But on the updated server the realtek drivers is not loaded.

My vm.cfg is:

[root@vmserver05 4381_picmon04]# cat vm.cfg
acpi = 1
apic = 1
arch = 'i686'
arch_libdir = 'lib'

]
disk_other_config = []

vif = ['bridge=vlan400,mac=00:16:3E:59:29:45,type=ioemu']
vif_other_config = []
vnc = 1
vncconsole = 1
vnclisten = '0.0.0.0'
vncpasswd = 'XXXXXX'
vncunused = 1

Any idea?

Thanks & best regards,
