Proxmox VE + Shorewall + Ubuntu 8.04 container => network problems

[guidtz]

Hello,

i'm a little newby with Proxmox but a good (I Think) Linux System Administror. So I've got a problem when I install shorewall on my proxmox plateform.

When I boot without shorewall, my ubuntu OpenVZ virtual machines works perfectly but when I start shorewall, network is unreachable on ubuntu 8.04 vm, so in Debian and ubuntu 10.04 network working well.

When I try to boot ubuntu 8.04 vm, I've got this errors :
# vzctl --verbose start 101
Starting container ...
Container is mounted
Adding IP address(es): 192.168.1.51
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
vps-net_add ERROR: Unable to add route /sbin/ip route add 192.168.1.51 dev venet0
Container start failed
Stopping container ...

So if I done this :
# ip route del 192.168.1.51

I can boot the vm :
# vzctl --verbose start 101
Starting container ...
Container is mounted
Adding IP address(es): 192.168.1.51
Running container script: /etc/vz/dists/scripts/debian-add_ip.sh
Setting CPU units: 1000
Setting CPUs: 1
Configuring meminfo: 262144
....

So why my ubuntu 8.04 vm doesn't works and all others work

When I try to boot ubuntu 8.04 vm, I've got this errors :

That only occur when you run shorewall?

 

[guidtz]

Yes, when shorewall is off so when I haven't go iptable rules. My ubuntu vm works very well.

I think i'll go to migrate my vms to Ubuntu 10.04 or Debian Lenny
