Description Michael Meeks 2008-06-05 11:25:03 UTC

I installed openSUSE-11.0-RC1 inside a Xen image created through the "Create Virtual Machine" yast2 tool (really virt-manager I believe).

The install went well, it re-booted nicely /sbin/ifconfig shows that eth0 has an IPv6 address (apparently) - though DOM0 is IPv4 [ which looks hopeful ].

Unfortunately /etc/resolv.conf contains only:
[snip]
domain site
[snip]

$ ping www.ibm.com
ping: unknown host www.ibm.com.

$ ping 192.168.0.1
connect: Network is unreachable

etc. Clearly there is probably something magic I should do to make this work :-)

running yast2 "Network Settings" shows "Traditional method with ifup", with IPv6 enabled, a virtual ethernet card etc. but apparently it is not working well.

Comment 1 Michael Meeks 2008-06-05 11:38:35 UTC

Switching IPv6 off and re-booting also yields a non-functioning network; my syslog has:

ifup-dhcp: no IP address yet... backgrounding.

Could be a dup of #394575# (?).

Yes.  I saw the same problem and updating to a kernel containing the patch in that bug resolved the issue.
