7:10 p.m.
I'm trying to get an Archlinux guest running on a Archlinux host.
Everything works except ethernet.
When I boot the host,
---
# dmesg |tail
[ 8.265493] Bridge firewalling registered
[ 8.514547] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): virbr0: link is not ready
[ 8.645303] ip6_tables: (C) 2000-2006 Netfilter Core Team
---
Then I do
---
# virsh -c lxc:/// start gitolite
Domain gitolite started
# dmesg |tail
[ 348.793398] device veth0 entered promiscuous mode
[ 348.793553] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): veth0: link is not ready
[ 348.997973] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): veth0: link becomes ready

[ 348.998001] virbr0: port 1(veth0) entered forwarding state
[ 348.998008] virbr0: port 1(veth0) entered forwarding state
[ 348.998017] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): virbr0: link becomes ready
[ 349.784174] EXT4-fs (xvdg): re-mounted. Opts: (null)
---
Then I enter the guest and do
---
# ip link
5: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state
UP mode DEFAULT qlen 1000
link/ether 02:00:00:00:00:17 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
7: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode
DEFAULT
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
---
So, eth0 exists. Now, still in the guest:
---
# systemctl start dhcpcd@eth0
A dependency job for dhcpcd(a)eth0.service failed. See 'journalctl -xn' for
details.

At this point, nothing new in dmesg.
Even though ip link should a eth0 device, the
sys-subsystem-net-devices-eth0.device has failed?
I don't understand this.
This is libvirt 1.0.1 in linux 2.6.11. I tried with both systemd 197 and
(thinking that recent changes with device naming could be the problem) with
196. It didn't work on either.
The domain configuration is:
---

I also tried using bridged networking configuration but I see the same
problem.
What could be causing this? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Marco
