Hi,
referreing the docs on
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_xen_setup_debian_ubuntu_p6 I had set
up my networking in Xen 2.0.7, and which used to work. However After
updating the Xen to 3.0.0, the same configuration doesnt work any
more..

SU-debian:~# xm create -c debian-1
Using config file "debian-1".
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Backend device not found.

When viewed under 'xm list' I can see that the domU is paused. I can
unpause it and run, however network never comes up. I cannot ping the
dummy0 IP from the DomU console.

SU-debian:~# xm list
Name                              ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State  Time(s)
Domain-0                           0      376     1 r-----  6523.0
Tarooza                            3      216     1 ------   452.8
suxen-1Deb                         4       64     1 --p---     0.0


Booting the Domu generates the following error (xend.log)
