Xen 3.3/NetBSD 5.1 DOM0: bridge not working if vcpus>1



Hi, port-xen.

I originally posted this on Xen-users, then on NetBSD-users, but nobody there had an answer...

-------- Original Message --------


Trying to bring up xen 3.3 on a Dell T110 [quad XEON, 8GB RAM] running NetBSD 5.1 amd64 DOM0. I installed the OS from CD, then xentools33 and xenkernel33 with pkg_add, and I got DOM0 working...

I created a big disk image file with dd...

[root@voodoo(NetBSD)]> ls -l /Xen/Disks/juju0000.img
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  966367641600 Oct 11 22:40 /Xen/Disks/juju0000.img


And have my bridge set up...

[root@voodoo(NetBSD)]> cat /etc/ifconfig.bridge0
create
!brconfig $int add bge0 up
[root@voodoo(NetBSD)]> ifconfig bridge0
bridge0: flags=41<UP,RUNNING> mtu 1500

I want to use HVM for transparency [over speed]... but if I use this config file [basic HVM with disk/memory/mac changes]...

kernel = "/usr/pkg/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder = "hvm"
memory = 4096
name = "juju"
vcpus = 4
vif = [
      'mac=00:16:3e:XX:XX:XX, type=ioemu, bridge=bridge0'
  ]
disk = [
      'file:/Xen/Disks0/juju0000.img,hda,w',
      'file:/Xen/Isos/FBSD82amd64.iso,hdd:cdrom,r'
  ]
device_model = '/usr/pkg/libexec/qemu-dm'
boot="c"
vnc=1
vnclisten="0.0.0.0"
vncdisplay=1
vncpasswd="XXXXXX"


when I create it:

[root@voodoo(NetBSD)]> xm create -c /Xen/Machines/juju.cnf
Using config file "/Xen/Machines/juju.cnf".
Started domain juju
[root@voodoo(NetBSD)]> xm list
Name                                        ID   Mem VCPUs      State   Time(s)
Domain-0                                     0   256     1     r-----    222.0
juju                                         1  4096     1     -b----    155.2

...it comes up and, in a VNC window, I can watch it boot, find and configure /dev/re0, but I can't ping DOMU from anywhere and can't ping anywhere from DOMU.

Shutting down DOMU, changing vcpus to 1 [or commenting it out completely], then restarting DOMU... everything works fine. What am I missing? Thanks.
