Description Jan Pihlgren 2014-10-12 07:50:58 CEST
I'm running VMware Workstation 10 on Mageia 4 with the latest updates.
In VMware Workstation I'm running Mageia 5 Alpha 2.
When I try to update I get the following messages:
Serious error.
A serrious error had occured: couldn't find any mirror server from mirrorlist $MIRRORLIST

I have now found the reason why I can't get the MIRRORSERVER.
It depends on the kernel 3.17.0 (and 3.17.0.rc6) that don't connect to internet.
When I use kernel 3.15.0 it connects to internet and I can update Mageia 5 Alpha 2.

With kernel 3.15.0 it is possible to connect to internet.
With kernel 3.17.0 it is not possible to connect to internet.
Comment 1 Jan Pihlgren 2014-10-15 05:52:00 CEST
Nothing changes after installing kernel 3.17.0-5 mga5
it is not possible to connect to internet.
Comment 2 Thomas Backlund 2014-10-15 08:01:00 CEST
Anything in the logs ?

If you remove and reconfigure network access in the virtual machine, does it work then?

Comment 4 Frank Griffin 2014-10-15 13:01:39 CEST
Are you using a static IP address or DHCP ?

The fact that you do not see an inet address in your first try with 17 but do in your second try is significant.  It indicates that at some point you are connected on the second try.

Please post the output of "route -n", "traceroute 23.194.116.205", and "host www.apple.com".  "route -n" will indicate if your traffic is being misdirected, "traceroute" will indicate whether your traffic to that IP (www.apple.com) is getting off your VM host or not, and "host" will indicate whether your hostnames are getting successful DNS resolution.

First I will point that with kernel 3.15.6-server-1.mga5
everything works OK.

Comment 6 Frank Griffin 2014-10-15 14:09:00 CEST
You didn't say, but from the fact that you can't appear to communicate with your gateway, I'll guess that you're using a static IP.

Are these two separate VMs, or the same VM booted first with 15 and then with 17 (i. e. just different choices from the grub menu) ?

What about "journalctl -a -b | grep eno16777736" in each case ?
Comment 7 Frank Griffin 2014-10-15 14:11:57 CEST
Sorry, in the 15 case use ens33 as the grep argument.
Comment 8 Jan Pihlgren 2014-10-15 16:38:33 CEST
I use DHCP
Yes, it is the same VM booteed with different kernel with different ckoises from the grub menu.

Are you sure your vmware version even supports kernel-3.17 + glibc 2.20 ?
This above crash suggests some broken guest addons or something like that...
Comment 10 Frank Griffin 2014-10-15 17:16:33 CEST
In both cases you can reach the DHCP server, so there's nothing wrong with the interface itself.

I assume that "ping 172.16.215.2" fails on 17 ?  So it's just your gateway it can't get to.

Can you ping your DHCP server ?  Can you ping any other server on your intranet (e. g. the system hosting the VM) ?

I use VMware Workstation 10.0.3 build-1895310
Host is Mageia 3.14.18-desktop-3.mga4
There is no new updates.

I can't do any networkconnection from Mageia 5 Alpha 2
I can do what I want from other VMguests with no problem for example
Windows 7, windows 8, CentOS and so on.
For me it looks like that the problem is Mageia 5 Alpha 2 kernel that is the problem.
Everything works with kernel 3.15.6 and stop working with 3.17.0.rc6 and so forth.
So the some change done in kernel 3.17.0 is the reason for the errors

No.
The problem is vmware not keeping up with kernel development. They Always lag behind ...

They dont officially support kernel 3.17 yet. I guess they will catch up eventually...
Comment 14 Frank Griffin 2014-10-15 20:26:36 CEST
@Jan

You miss the point.  Your 17 boot is sending out a DHCPREQUEST broadcast, and it is getting a response back, or else you wouldn't have the IP address 172.16.215.133 assigned to the interface.  That proves that the eth interface is not only up but functional.

The problem is obviously related to 3.17, but it appears to have to do with whom you're trying to talk to, and not the actual network connectivity.

@Thomas

I don't know that much about VMWare.  Are they really sensitive to Linux kernel versions ?

Yep, we get bugreports every release... a Quick google shows something like this needed:

Good god, I knew there was some reason I used VBox besides just being cheap :-)

OK, I understand. Good to know this. 
Two things: First, the problem is between 3.17.0 and VMware.
Second I will wait for Mageia 5 Beta and an update from VMware.
Thanks for your patient and your work to clear for me where the problem seems to be.
Thanks.
Comment 18 Jan Pihlgren 2014-10-31 10:17:16 CET
I now have update VMware Workstation to 10.0.4 (released 2014-10-30) and Mageia 5 Alpha 2 kernel to 3.17.2 with no success.
But VirtualBox 4.3.16 works OK.
Comment 19 Thomas Backlund 2014-10-31 10:55:28 CET
Yeah, well that changelog between 10.0.3 and 10.0.4 is short:

* Fixes memory issue in Workstation on Microsoft Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012.
Comment 20 Jan Pihlgren 2014-11-13 05:27:11 CET
Today I installed Mageia 5 Beta 1, kernel 3.17.2-server-4.mga5
Now Mageia work with VMware Workstation 10.0.4
Now I'm really happy! Good work.
For me you can close the case.
Comment 21 Manuel Hiebel 2014-11-13 23:16:20 CET
ok closing then

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
