症状及解决办法英文原文(在VMware的网站上找的):
Getting a DHCP Address in a Red Hat Linux 9.0 Virtual Machine
When a Red Hat Linux 9.0 guest operating system tries to get a DHCP address, the attempt may fail with an error message that states the link is down. On ESX Server, this happens only if you are using the vlance driver for your network connection.
To work around this problem, become root (su -) and use a text editor to edit the following files in the guest operating system. If only one of these files exist, make the change for that file only.
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth[n]
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth[n]
In both cases, [n] is the number of the Ethernet adapter -- for example, eth0.
Add the following section to each of these two files:
check_link_down () {
return 1;
}
Then run the command ifup eth[n] (where [n] is the number of the Ethernet adapter) or restart the guest operating system.
翻译成中文大概就是:
到/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 这两个文件中加入
check_link_down () {
return 1;
}
另外如果存在/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0 文件,则同样在其中加入这一段东西即可,然后重启系统。(注意:重启过程中可能出现死机情况,rest一下就好了。)
