I have the PE1950s with the on-board Broadcom chipset and an add-in
Intel Pro 1000 card. I'm running SLES10 SP2 (Xen 3.2.0) and I don't
see this behavior at all.

Hi,
I ran into trouble with this NICs a few times, too.
Be sure you have a new driver version.
I don't know which version Xen 3.0.3 RPM delivers. Couldy you tell me?
And perhaps you should give James Harpers Paradrivers a chance.
Cheers,
Alex

Hi,
I have a Dell PowerEdge 1950 with two NICs Broadcom NetXtreme II
BCM5708 1000Base-T. I installed CentOS 5.1 and Xen 3.0.3 (RPM). One of
my virtual machines has Windows 2003 Server. In this virtual machine
my NICs appears like “Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC”.
The problem is that when I ping to other machines sometimes the reply
time value is very high:
C:> ping 10.1.1.1

It important to indicate that the “real” time is good ( approximately
between 1 and 2 seconds ). The problem is some applications used this
value to monitor some servers and send alarms when time value is high.
How you can see some time the reply value is negative.
The problem is only with virtual Windows machine.
What can I do? Some idea?
Thanks a lot for your help

Hi
I have Only two on-board Broadcom not add-ins.
How can I know which version Xen delivers?
Thanks
Roberto
Hi,
this prints your module version:
"/sbin/modinfo bnx2" or absolute path "/sbin/modinfo
/lib/modules/2.6.x-x/kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.ko"
Cheers,

I guess, 1.6.9 is okay.
1.7.1c works well for me. I can't really remember what version took my
machine into trouble.
Have you also tried the GPLPV drivers from James Harper?
Perhaps it maybe a CentOS related issue?
I don't use CentOS, so I can't say something about this.
Cheers,
Alex

Hi
I installed Xen PV Drivers and my virtual Windows machine crash now I
can´t
boot grom this virtual machine :(
I am trying to boot but I think that I new install again.
thanks
Hi,
I hope this is no production machine...
I should have said, you should backup your vm before installing PV drivers.
Good Luck,
Alex
Hi,
This is a test machine. I am going to reinstall and try again :)
Thanks a lot for all your help
Roberto
Okay, then keep on reporting ;-)
# I installed CentOS 5.1 and Xen 3.0.3 (RPM).
Another question: I'm not familiar with centOS, so is 3.0.3 really the version
of xen provided with this?
I thougt CentOS 5.1 ships with xen 3.1.3?
But what you can definitely do to foreclose a driver issue
is compiling the actual Broadcom provided driver from source.
If the issue won't disappear, you know what's not the problem ;-)
For this you have to install the correct xen kernel headers first.
Cheers,
Alex
