[xen-discuss] Bug 6703227

[Boris Derzhavets]

I did several installs on Box2 and succeeded every time for SNV87,89,90 DomUs at
SNV91 Dom0 . DHCP request took 20-30 sec as maximum.
I did also same attempts on Box1 and every time DHCP request for DomU timed out.
It looks like 6703227 is hardware dependent . Per CR xnf gets  DHCPOFFER (PACK ?)
before it gets plumbed and brought up by DomU , but eventually recovers. 
Then why it doesn't happen on Box1 (network operates faster and has different architecture)
xnf never recovers. Moreover if i install DomU with static IP , then 
# ifconfig xnf down
# ifconfig xnf unplumb
# ifconfig xnf plumb
# ifconfig xnf dhcp
It hangs ....
All what i can is to bring up xnf with static IP from corresponding subnet. 
In this case RTL 8169SC is integrated on the board (vs RTL 8139 plugged into PCI slot on Box2) as second NIC, first one is Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet.
