Pkg xen devel - Oct 2006 - Bug#392109: bug in xen-utils

Package: xen-utils-3.0.2-1
Version: 3.0.2-3+hg9762-1

Hi,
while trying to get xen work, I encountered two problems:

1. I don't know if its really an error, but I think something is messed up
with the subdir-name /usr/lib/xen-3.0.2-1 because the version-number of the
package suggests that it is an other version, than the subdir says. Every time
when I call xm for example I get:
WARING!  Can't find version 3.0.2-3-1 of xen utils, fallback to default
version!

2. The script network-bridge tries to load the kernel-module netloop at the top
of the script
modprobe netloop > /dev/null 2>&1
this fails because there is no module and the script does not create any
interfaces and stops. I think it's build into the xen-kernel. The
bridge-interfaces where created after removing this line from the script.

I'm using Debian etch with Kernel 2.6.16-2-xen-686, by the way: kernel
2.6.17-?-xen-686 does not boot, my machine (proliant 5500 4xP3-500, 2,5GB RAM)
reboots before any logs where written.

Greeting, Christian

It was one and is fixed in NEW.

It never uses set -e which will ask the shell to bail out on errors, so
why does it fail?

You have to use a newer hypervisor.
