Re: [Xen-users] Device eth0 does not seem to be present

[Phil Evans <xenmail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are you using the stock FC5 Xen kernels? If so, you will need to add the 
following line to the /etc/modprobe.conf files in your domU:
alias eth0 xennet

For some reason the Fedora guys decided to make xennet a module as 
opposed to compiled in, so you need to specify the module be loaded. I 
have come across this problem myself. It took me quite a while to figure 
out.
Thanks,
Phil Evans.
