Xen users - Dec 2005 - Problem starting many domUs

I''m trying to start somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 domUs on one  
machine.

However, once i have a dom0 and 8 domUs running, the next domU i try  
to start pauses boot on the error:
NET: Registered protocol family 17
IP-Config: Incomplete network configuration information.

I don''t get any errors from xm create, but the domU stops booting at  
that line.


I''m running debian sarge
I''ve checked that the appropriate /dev/loop* devices exist (up  
through 20 or so)

My lsmod reads:
ipt_physdev             3120  9
iptable_filter          3520  1
ip_tables              20704  2 ipt_physdev,iptable_filter

so the loop device isn''t present, which means its in the kernel,  
right?  I''ve put max_loop=64 on the module line in menu.lst, which  
fixed errors i was having earlier saying a VBD device didn''t exist.

I don''t specify anything about networking in the config file
I''m
using, just taking the defaults.  I use the exact same config (except  
for name) for all domUs that i''m starting (it''s actually a
script
that just passes the script args on the command line).  It''s the same  
for all domUs, but the 9th one always fails this way.

Any ideas what I need to do here?  More info needed?

As an update - if i pass nics=0 on the command line, everything seems  
to work.  Unfortunately, I need each domU to have a valid IP address.

Any thoughts on what the problem might be?
