After installing XEN 3.0.3 from source, I configured a virtual machine
to run as a domU.
I built a Debian Sarge virtual disk with a virtual swap, using
instructions http://howtoforge.com/debian_sarge_xen_3.0.3_p3
and a script for that domU. Running that script led me to the error:
# xm create -c my5
Using config file "my5".
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.
I know that very similar errors have been discussed extensively, but
adding more
loopbacks did not solve it and udev is installed.
For the former, I added "max_loop=64" was added to grub config and
"options loop max_loop=64" to
the /etc/modprobe.d/loop.local file. 64 loopback devices are present in
/dev with protection
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 1 2007-01-05 16:23 /dev/loop1
I reinstalled udev too. rules are installed in
/xen/dist/install/etc/udev/rules.d/xen-backend.rules too.
It is however unclear how to (re)install hotplug?
Any idea would be appreciated.
