[Barrelfish-users] RTL8029 not recognized in qemu

[Andrew Baumann]

Oh that's a grub error. You need to use a grub that supports either e1000 or PXE boot. The one in the tree that 'make sim' points at only includes (I think) the RTL driver.

After digging back through old email, here's a qemu invocation that once worked for me:

qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 1 -m 2048 -net nic,model=e1000  -net user,tftp=/.../build,bootfile=/pxegrub-undi -serial file:/dev/stdout

Unfortunately, I'm not able to get barrelfish to boot at all with the e1000 nic:

root  (nd)

Error 23: Error while parsing number
Do I need to rebuild the boot image here?

This rings a faint bell for me.

If I remember correctly, the RTL driver has a hardcoded IO port range and IRQ, and at some point qemu moved the device. If you're using a newer version of qemu, I'd suggest trying its e1000 support, as that driver is generally in much better shape than the RTL driver.

Cheers,

I'm trying to get networking up inside qemu, but barrelfish doesn't recognize the emulated network adapter:

Initializing RTL8029(AS)...
This is not a recognized rtl8029as: ID is 00:00!
For service [rtl8029] MAC= 00:00:00:00:00:00
I definitely have an adapter:

(qemu) info network
ne2k_pci.0: index=0,type=nic,model=ne2k_pci,macaddr=52:54:00:12:34:56
 \ local: index=0,type=user,net=10.0.2.0,restrict=off
Here's my menu.lst:

Any help would be appreciated.
