NetworkMangler is only installed with Gnome right? I did a minimal install without Gnome.
Check I think it's include in the 'core' group.
I would just create an ifcfg with no IP address and that should work.
Ok, I will try that if I cant get the pass through to work.
There's no need for a custom kernel, all the CentOS Xen kernels include pciback and pcifront support, and most other distros pre-compiled Xen kernels do too.
Well, I assumed it wasn't as dmesg says unknown kernel option passed when I stick the line into grub.conf? The syntax was righty out of xen doc's and similar to all I found when searching the net. I also tried unpacking the srpm and looking at it to see if I could spot anything which might lead me to believe it was turned on by default but I couldn't figure out where to look, you're sure the srpm has this option on?
It's no longer statically compiled, but as a module, so you need to define the options in /etc/modprobe.conf and if you need it to seize the device early you need to make an initrd that grabs it before all else otherwise you need a little modprobe trick.
Here's an example using my sound card.
/etc/modprobe.conf: options pciback hide=(00:10.1) # If you aren't preloading pciback in the initrd uncomment the next line #install snd-hda-intel /usr/sbin/modprobe pciback; /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-hda-intel
To preload pciback in initrd:
# mkinitrd -f --preload=pciback /etc/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
That should do it.
