We saw this same problem during our testing with Xen on SLES 10, and
determined that it was related to the IPMI management portion of the
firmware on the integrated Broadcom NICs. We should have a fix for that
later this fall, but the workaround below *should* fix it for you:
*Download the uxdiag utility from support.dell.com, and put it on a
bootable DOS floppy
*Boot to the floppy.
*To disable management firmware on integrated NIC, run the following
command:
a:\uxdiag -c 1 -mfw 0 -t abcd

Subject: xen on a 2950 - HELP
Can anybody help with a network problem on a 2950? I can't ping
the network/gateway when booting into xen on FC5 or SUSE 10.1? I was
given this script but it does NOT appear to be running, any help would
be appreciated - thank you
Dan
