hi,
I have installed xen hypervisor with yast on open suse 11.0 but when I boot the xen kernel I dont have any network access anymore. It seems like the bridge br0 is looking for eth0 but this one has completely disappeared.
this is the ifconfig output:
linux-pjs2:/etc/xen # ifconfig

thats the output when I restart the network service:

In sysconfig I dont even have a file for eth0:

but I dont know how to activate eth0. when I go to network settings in yast, where I see the available interfaces (my nic and the network bridge) the buttons to edit the interfaces are deactivated.
I have ifup activated (I read this is necessary for bridging). when I change to network manager, the network access works brilliantly…
thanks for any help!!
