Re: [Xen-users] qemu

Hi Jiri!

I do have the module loaded and I have a node /dev/net/tun so that side of things seems to be ok. If I manually try and create a tap adapter with ifconfig tap0 0.0.0.0 up then I still don't get a tap device, I have to use tunctl to create a tap device before I can do this. So my thinking was, manually create a tap device with tunctl then start my guest VM. However what happens is the guest attempts to create a tap device with a number 1 higher than the one I've created, it doesn't matter how many I try and make I get the same problem!!!!! Frustrating yes?

Well, I have

    vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]

which is the default taken from xmexample.hvm and everything works as
expected.

looking in the most recent qemu log reveals that the TAP device could not be created, I have TUN/TAP installed as a kernel module
Hmm, do you have that module loaded into the kernel (lsmod)? If not, try to
insert it manually using modprobe. Perhaps, just autoloading doesn't work for
this module. I don't have TUN/TAP as a module as I had to load it manually for
OpenVPN...
