Well, that would be the fatal failure.

You seem to have created bridges successfully so assuming you have brctl
on your system. But try doing the above step (adding the interface to the
bridge) manually.

Also, put a set -x in your /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge and
/etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge script, and post their output found
in /var/log/xen-debug.log. Could be an older version of brctl
which doesn't return status (?).

thanks,

This is the only problem I can find. Would you please give more
suggestions?


thanks,
