Hi! Sorry that I haven't been responsive; naturally this happens the weekend I'm in Cannes ;-)
All but one VM is now up (pima) and the ISP continues to investigate; appended is their description of their fault finding efforts so far. - - - 8< - - - From: Peter Bryant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 2008/8/10 Subject: Re: playground1.welcomebackstage.com down! To: Dave Crossland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks. For now I reset the root password to xxxx I can access the server via the console. I am not able to ping out. ethtool eth0 reports link. administratively shutting down the port on the switch and it shows no link (then I re-enabled the port). I see no relevant error messages in /var/log/messages. The route table looks OK. I stopped/flushed iptables . I tried the older xen kernel. Then I tried a recent non-xen kernel from the grub list. I'm not really sure what the problem is. I'm attaching another network cable to the server's other nic and seeing if I can configure that to work. After that extra cable was plugged in, and for no other reason I can think of, and after no other change was made that I can think of, dmesg reported that eth0 became ready and the IP is now pinging. I reported the server into the latest/newest Xen kernel. And it still pings/works there. It is late/early here. I'll leave things as they are now. And reflect on this a bit to see if I can figure out what happened. But as things stand now it should all be back up and working for you. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
