[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#603417: xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64: domU fails to obtain IP address from dom0 dhcp server (dhclient complains about checksum error)

[Michal Suchanek]

Package: xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64
Version: 4.0.1-1
Severity: normal


Because my networking was getting rather complex I cloned my
firewall/net server as domU/dom0 to offload some services to the domU.

I use bridged networking with the domU virtual adaptor connected to the
internal ethernet interface used to provide services (which is normally
the single port of the bridge).

When I attempt to bring up the domU ethernet with dhcp the dom0 dnsmasq
server receives the request and sends offers but domU dhclient does not
accept the IP and says there were 5 checksum errors in 5 packets.

I am not sure how to diagnose the issue further.

DNS resolution using the dom0 for server seems to work in domU, HTTP and
CIFS services provided by domU to the internal network work as well.
