Change MAC address on Debian Systems

As of version 0.090, udev has the ability to statically rename ethernet cards based on MAC address. The addresses are configured in /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules .  If you want the mappings to change, edit that file.  See <forcedeth mac>.  As of version 0.124-1 the file is called /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

VirtualBox 2.1.0 without bridge configuration

“Note: Even though TAP is no longer necessary on Linux with the new Host Interface Networking of VirtualBox 2.1, you can still use TAP interfaces for certain advanced setups, since you can connect a VM to any host interface – which could also be a TAP interface.”

Machine -> Settings -> Network
Attached to: Host Interface
Host Interfaces: eth0

The start your virtual machine, and configure IP address interface of guest operation system.
Enjoy!

Debian Etch 4 no CCE W92

Para testar o Xen resolvi instalar o Debian no CCE W92.
Lá vão algumas dicas para conseguir instalar o bicho:

- C3 function enabled na BIOS
- No carregamento do CD netinst: linux generic.all_generic_ide=1 vga=791 noapic nolapic acpi=off

Em resumo, CCE+Sis é um hardware bom pra fazermos malabarismos.

Fedora 10 on CCE W92

To “solve” problems with hardware “sis”:
On Live CD Boot – add “xdriver=vesa” vga=791
After install Fedora 10, log on console.

shell> yum install system-config-display
shell> system-config-display
shell> vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
