Hi I am mainly a Fedora user but I am trying to use Xen on Ubuntu. I installed the ubuntu-server-xen package. And my system is upto date. Also have network-script to network-bridge and vif-script to vif-bridge. Added loop_max=64 to the /etc/modules. Problem ======The domU N/w is not working the bridge does not seem to have any interfaces. On Fedora it had peth0 and vif0.0. The Ubuntu distribution is having veth0.. interfaces. brctl show bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces xenbr0 8000.feffffffffff no As I start the VMs the vif<domid>.0 interfaces do get added. But the domU does not get the n/w (as I think the other end of the bridge is not setup correctly). This is true for both PV and HVM guests I tried to add manually veth0, brctl fails with invalid argument. I tried adding vif0.0 and eth0. With this my domU n/w worked but dom0 n/w is lost.!! Any ideas on how to resolve this. Thanks /Jd ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.

Re: [Xen-users] Ubuntu Gutsy Xen problems : DomU n/w not working
Hi JD, Personally, I found Xen on Ubuntu Gutsy extremely problematic and broken. I could not use it even though I tried hard. I removed xen packages of Gutsy and now running xen-unstable that I''ve compiled myself with 2.6.18 kernel. Works very stable. I recommend you to do the same thing instead of spending your time. After you manually make the bridge and have network in DomU, did you check the ifconfig -a output of your dom0? Maybe it''s just missing an IP address?
