I''ve posted this before and never received any help. Can someone please assist or aim me in the right direction? Dom0 is FC6, fully updated, with Xen 3.0.4 built from source. domU is ubuntu 6.1, but that''s somewhat irrelevant. I can''t get any vifs to start up in domUs. I get the dread "Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working" error. I''ve run udevmonitor and I see the add events but I never see a configure event. The startup stalls until it times out and I''m stuck. The vif configuration from the hvm file is: vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0, mac=00:16:3e:00:00:11, ip=A.B.C.D'' ] ("A.B.C.D" is really a public IP). I have netloop loaded with 128 instances (from /etc/modprobe.conf): options netloop nloopbacks=128 I need to get this going and I don''t seem to be the only person having issues. This can''t be that farking difficult, but I''m at sea here. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@vitalstream.com - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Linux is like a wigwam...no windows, no gates...and apache inside! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
Ensure the symlink /bin/sh indeed points to bash , this is a common cause of that but not sure if other bourne shells have appeared default enabled on fedora. The hotplug scripts rely on a posix compliant ''bash'' (invoked as sh) to function properly. Worth a shot, anyway :) Best, --Tim On Fri, 2007-02-23 at 16:03 -0800, Rick Stevens wrote:> I''ve posted this before and never received any help.

And building packages as large and intricate as Xen from source is always an adventure: Did you uninstall or assure the the Xen RPM''s were not lying around first? I''d tend to use the FC6 SRPM to wrap around the 3.0.4 source tarball and build from that. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
