[Xen-users] tap devices are not being created after system restart
Hello! I use kernel-xen.x86_64 2.6.20-2931.fc7 virt-manager.x86_64 0.4.0-2.fc7 xen-libs.x86_64 3.1.0-2.fc7 xen.x86_64 3.1.0-2.fc7 with FC7. I want bridged networking for my virtual machines, so I create fully virtualized DomUs with virt-manager and add eth0 (bridged, as ethernet device). When I start Domu I see with ifconfig a device called tap0 and rest (vifx,x, virbr0,peth0,eth0). My virtual machine (ubuntu drapper 32bit) recognize interface as eth1 and networking is up, although virt-manager show source and target interface as eth0. After system reboot a device tap0 is not created and DomU kernel see no network interfaces at all, when it start. The only way to create tap device is to stop DomU, then remove existing interfaces with virt-manager and readd them and start DomU again. DomU bridged networking is up till next system (Dom0) reboot. The same is for any existing DomUs. Very similar problem (may be they are related). When I create a new fully virtualized DomU and use iso image as cdrom everything starts up installation goes on till next DomU reboot. After DomU reboot it cannot start again. Logs show that there are no disk (cdrom) image. I cannot start newly created DomU even after system or xend restart - the same. After manually fixing coressponding cdrom device entry from /var/lib/xend/domains/newlycreateddomanid/config.sxp (which apparently is not the one I added with virt-manager, because it points not to image, but hdc) and restarting xend, I am able to start DomU again.
