Hi,
I am attempting to run VirtualBox 4.1.20 on Gentoo Linux (kernel version
3.4.9 with matching header versions to the running kernel,
and cannot get host-only networking to work.
I am trying with both saved virtualbox configuration copied from the
previous Debian installation as well as a fresh one with identical
settings. Same effect in both cases.
I am using a quite minimal custom kernel, but have tried enabling lots
of previously-disabled networking options like NAT and Bridging to no
avail.
I don't see anything unusual in the log files.
When the system initially boots (any guest o/s), the initial DHCP
request during boot fails. Then I can log in and run dhclient
successfully, getting an IP from my DHCP server IP. However I cannot
then ping the DHCP server IP, gateway IP, or anything else. I am stuck
within the VM.
Here's details about the host:
$ ip addr show eth0
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 00:25:90:00:0f:44 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.79.0.64/23 brd 10.79.1.255 scope global eth0
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain int.m---s.com
search vmnet64.dev.int.m---s.com dev.int.m---s.com int.m---s.com
m---s.com
nameserver 10.79.0.143
(the following is with a VM running connected to vboxnet0 and having
gotten a DHCP IP assigned; shouldn't this have an IP assigned and
packets logged?)
# ifconfig vboxnet0
vboxnet0: flags=4098<BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 0a:00:27:00:00:00 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
VirtualBox.xml snippets:
<ExtraDataItem name="HostOnly/vboxnet0/IPAddress" value="10.79.64.1"/>
<ExtraDataItem name="HostOnly/vboxnet0/IPNetMask"
value="255.255.255.0"/>
<ExtraDataItem name="HostOnly/vboxnet0/IPV6NetMask" value="64"/>
...
<DHCPServer networkName="HostInterfaceNetworking-vboxnet0"
IPAddress="10.79.64.100" networkMask="255.255.255.0"
lowerIP="10.79.64.101" upperIP="10.79.64.254" enabled="1"/>
Here's details about the VM (terse because typed by hand):
inet 10.79.64.101/24 brd 10.79.64.255
nameserver 10.79.0.143
same search domains as host
Destination 10.79.64.0, Gateway 0.0.0.0, Genmask 255.255.255.0, Flags U
Destination 0.0.0.0, Gateway 10.79.64.1, Genmask 0.0.0.0, Flags UG
Are there some required options I need to make sure are enabled in my
kernel configuration? Are there any newer package versions known to be
incompatible with VirtualBox? Is there something I can provide from
the logs to help shed light?
Any help greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
