I just installed a KVM guest, centos 6.2 i686 (6.2 x86_64 host) and the network module is loaded . The modules is/are 8139too,8139cp is what lsmod shows. Dmesg shows link up but ifconfig does not give me an address? service network restart shows OK no errors but again no address. I set the ifcfg-eth0 file to not be NM controlled, onboot yes and rebooted. Same no address. I run 5.8 images all the time and they get the address? Did I forget something? Jerry
