Hi people, Today, installing my first hvm machines on Xen 4 I had lots of problems enabling the network interface on the DomU until I found that the kernel 2.6.32.13 from the git repository had been compiled without the TUN/TAP support. How come this is not enabled by default on a kernel that will most likely need it for hvm domU''s ? Thanks, and please excuse the question if it''s something ''stupid''. Aleix. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I guess the default .config needs some tweaking. I assume most people have been other "reference"-config files.. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

But it should be in the defaults regardless. J _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
