Xen devel - Nov 2005 - Another one with "Hotplug scripts not working"

Searching the archives and web i''ve learned that this error has occured
for
other users as well. I already did quite a bit of debugging but can''t
figure
out what the problem might be.

I''m running Xen unstable (changeset 8002) on an AMD64 server (rented
from
1&1). I''ve patched the 2.6.12.6 kernel with a custom patch to get
network
and disk adapter running, but i''m certain that this is not the source
of
the problem.

Domain 0 is running Debian AMD64 unstable. Hotplug and udev are installed
and running. I can not get any DomU running, as i always get the famous
"Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not
working".

I verified that the hotplug scripts are called by inserting a line
''logger "xen-backend xenbus_type:$XENBUS_TYPE script:$script
action:$ACTION"''
to the beginning of /etc/hotplug/xen-backend.agent.

Here are the relevant logfile excerpts:

Any help appreciated. I''m a developer with Debian, so i can also do
some
more debugging if you point me to locations to check. Thank you.

Michael
