Sten, The ''auto lo'' itself wont do it. Do you have ''iface lo inet loopback'' on the next line? If that doesnt help you may want to try configuring it as a static ip at 127.0.0.1 Also as a quick fix(you probably know this) you should be able to ''ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1'' after boot and have it work(dirty hack = put this in rc.local or whatever the debian equivalent is.) Hope this helps.

Even with "auto lo" in thefile, lo doesn''t come up.

I''ll have to look into that one further; just getting used to debootstrap, I guess. Thanks! -sten _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
