Has anyone gotten this to work? The network bridge is enabled when starting xend. This kills the open nfs-connection and hangs the dom0. I''ve tried different configs, but are unable to get this working. Everything works fine if I don''t enable network for domU. I''m running vanilla Gentoo with Xen 3.2.1 and corresponding kernel. Anyone that could share a working setup for nfs-root on dom0?

I have not tried anything like what you are trying to got, but perhaps if the problem it''s that xen tools enable the bridge and brings down the network. If I have understood well the problem is that when xend starts it brings down your physical if to create the bridge, and then the nfs root mount loose the connection. You have to figure out how to enable the bridge on the initrd/initramfs (so you have to include in it the brctl command at least), before the nfs root gets mounted. I''m not a gentoo user, but you can ask on the gentoo forums for this. Alternatively you can manually build (it''s not the simplier way...) an initrd that contains the brctl command and calls ''brctl addbr nameofbrif; brctl addif ethX''.

Re: [Xen-users] Xen 3.2.1 can''t use NFS-root for Dom0?
