Hi,

I've been meaning to install Proxmox on a Dell R200 dedicated server but I'm facing some issues.
Each time I boot on the 2.6.18-2-pve kernel the server stop to answer to the ping, I tried to but on rescue (with a netboot).
It seems that with the kernel 2.6.18-2-pve the network card stop to work when on the other hand with the original one (2.6.309 no problem at all.

I tried to search on the forum and i checked that the driver for the Broadcom is installed.

Following the wiki I edited (with netboot) the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file and checked that each card has it own name.

Code: 
# PCI device 0x14e4:0x1659 (tg3)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add",  DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="a4:ba:Db:Df:1c:e4", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0",  ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

# PCI device 0x14e4:0x1659  (tg3)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",  ATTR{address}=="a4:ba:Db:Df:1c:e5", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1",  KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"

# PCI device 0x14e4:0x1659  (tg3)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*",  ATTR{address}=="a4:ba:Db:Df:1c:e5", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*",  NAME="eth2"

# PCI device 0x14e4:0x1659 (tg3)
SUBSYSTEM=="net",  ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="a4:ba:Db:Df:1c:e4",  ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth3"
~
The info in /etc/network/interfaces are correct.

Have someone here been experimenting that kind of issue?

Hi,

i try to delete the lines, reboot the server and ping timeout.

I request again a netboot, the new data of /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules :
# PCI device 0x14e4:0x1659 (tg3)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="a4:ba:db:df:1c:e5", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth2"

# PCI device 0x14e4:0x1659 (tg3)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="a4:ba:db:df:1c:e4", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth3"

Hi,
How many reboots you have done with which kernel?
If you delete all lines after
Code: 
# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line.
the first boot use "a4:ba:db:df:1c:e4" as eth0.
The next different boot use "a4:ba:db:df:1c:e4" as eth3

You can also change the brigde-interface vmbr0 from eth0 to eth3.

Yes !

I'd inverse eth0 & eth1:

# PCI device 0x14e4:0x1659 (tg3)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="a4:ba:db:df:1c:e5", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"

# PCI device 0x14e4:0x1659 (tg3)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="a4:ba:db:df:1c:e4", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

Reboot and server ping :)

Many thanks for your suggestion and time passed.

Sorry for the bump, but I thought this thread suited best.

I have a Poweredge860 with a similar problem. It's a fresh install of proxmox-ve_1.5-4627-3

I already tried this with no luck:
Code: 
ifconfig vmbr0 down
ifconfig eth0 172.34.0.205 netmask 255.255.0.0 up
ifconfig -a output:

Any other thing I could try? Thanks a lot!
 
we are running a Dell R200 with proxmox.

So it will work, and we dont have any problems .. but you have a extra NIC in yours right ?
 
The Poweredge 860 comes with 3 NICs by default.

This did the trick for me:
Code: 
/etc/netowork/intercaces
    bridge_ports eth0 ->     bridge_ports eth1
