Hi, I have three xen installations, two servers and one laptop. The laptop install was done about half a year ago but the server installs are new. The laptop install is working flawlessly but the two servers have the same domU network problems. I have been pulling my hair for a while now but got stuck, so I''m turning to you for help. All installations has been done with help from the FedoraXenQuickstartFC5 howto. Both servers are fresh minimum installs of Fedora Core 5, updated via yum and they use the latest xen0 kernel - 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5xen0. When trying to install a domU client with xenguest-install.py or try to startup an existing domU image I get no network connection. xm create -c fedora2.cfg Using config file "/etc/xen/fedora2.cfg". Going to boot Fedora Core (2.6.17-1.2157_FC5xenU) kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5xenU initrd: /initrd-2.6.17-1.2157_FC5xenU.img Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Backend device not found. When running xenguest-install.py I get to the point where I configure the network and get stuck there. On my laptop ifconfig shows me the interfaces, eth0, lo, peth0, vif0.0 and xenbr0. On the servers the peth0, vif0.0 and xenbr0 interfaces doesn''t exist. The domain0 logs tells me: cat messages |grep xen Aug 10 11:58:34 XD0-01 logger: /etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge: Could not find bridge, and none was specified Aug 10 12:09:27 XD0-01 kernel: Linux version 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5xen0 ( brewbuilder@ls20-bc2-14.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.1.1 20060525 (Red Hat 4.1.1-1)) #1 SMP Wed Jul 12 00:28:36 EDT 2006 Aug 10 12:09:27 XD0-01 kernel: xen_mem: Initialising balloon driver.

This may be because you have reached the limit of the number of interfaces that the loopback driver supports. If the loopback driver is a module, you may raise this limit by passing it as a parameter (nloopbacks=<N>); if the driver is compiled statically into the kernel, then you may set the parameter using loopback.nloopbacks=<N> on the domain 0 kernel command line. cat xend.log <snip> [2006-08-10 12:23:05 xend.XendDomainInfo] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:919) XendDomainInfo.handleShutdownWatch [2006-08-10 12:23:05 xend] DEBUG (DevController:143) Waiting for devices vif.

All help is appreciated, Thanks in advance, /KJS
