[Xen-devel] Re: [Xen-users] Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Backend device not found.
I am having the same problem, however on RHEL 2.6.16. I have tried setting up the bridge manually but it does not work. Can someone give some clues on what we should do to solve this problem in RHEL Thanks P.
