Hi all,
I setup Xen3 for the first time using debian etch packages as described at
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/396 . That is I used the
Debian xen-create-image to set up a Xen image.
This all went fine, without errors (I can also mount and chroot into the
image without problems). But when I run
# xm create gerd.cfg -c
Using config file "/etc/xen/gerd.cfg".
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Backend device not found.
I do not know what causes this. After some fiddling and searching it
seems to me like a problem in /etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge
But I miss the knowhow to tell what exactly goes wrong.
Here is the from daemon.log when I run "xm create gerd.cfg -c" :
/etc/xen/scripts/block: add XENBUS_PATH=backend/vbd/4/2049

Sorry, but that is a bit too much for a Xen beginner ;-) Your help is very much
appreciated.
