No Network Connectivity on Fresh Install of 3.0 on a PowerEdge 2950

[fluffy]

I've got a Gen2 PowerEdge 2950, 16 gigs of ram, 2 quad-core xeons. A single raid 1+0 volume for /

The install process works fine. I enter in all of my network information (the connection works fine. It's an access port to a VLan. DHCP also work fine on this port [tested with a live cd])

Upon boot up, I can't ping my gateway or any other hosts in the network as I could do from the liveCD. Nothing can ping the Proxmox box either.

ifconfig -a lists lo, eth0, eth1, vmnet, vmbr0
cat /proc/dev/net shows the same, with metrics that you'd expect to see for devices that never find their network. eth0 = gb1, eth1 = gb2 (both built in ports. I have no other NICs in this system)

I've verified all of the network settings, too, and everything appears to be fine.

Suggestions?

Hi, I have 3 poweredge 2950 with proxmox3 without any problem (bnx2 cards)

can you post your /etc/networl/interfaces ?

Hey Spirit,

My first thought was the driver thing, but given that it sees both nics, I'm inclined to say it's not the bnx2 issue.
My /etc/network/config is the default created during install

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
    address 172.16.64.11
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 172.16.64.1
    bridge_ports eth0
    bridge_stp off
    bridge_fd 0

As an aside, when I restart networking, I get the following series of errors...

Reconfiguring network interfaces...
Waiting for vmbr0 to get ready (MAXWAIT is 2 seconds).
grep: unrecognized option --all
{{ std. grep usage output }}

Nowhere in /etc/init.d/networking is grep even used.

Added in an Intel nic. Changed the pridge_ports to eth2 and magic happend. Looks like it's still a driver incompatibility :S

Hi,
perhaps eth0 and eth1 is switched? Look at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
