Hi Christian

  For some reason I received this email only now ... Anyhow to the
subject. I''m not missing bridging tools. I didn''t change
Xen''s scripts
and config files at all, and if I understand right bridging is the
default setup in Xen. The only I did tinker with was the kernel. I
don''t
know why but it wasn''t only peth that wasn''t created. In the
domU that I
started I saw all the network interfaces of dom0 as if the domU was
running as dom0 (I didn''t know it meant problems back then). To make a
long story short: I ended up downgrading to 3.0.1 and everything has
been great since. I also tinkered with the kernels in 3.0.1 to have the
same exact configuration as the kernels in 3.0.2 so the problem wasn''t
caused by the kernel tinkering.






TIA
Paolo
