Hi All,

I for the life of me cannot get bridging to work with Xen on an HVM in CentOS 5.2 x86_64 and Xen 3.2.1. I've searched the old threads but nothing seems to cover what I'm running into. When I comment out the respective "vif =" line in the python configuration file, the HVM boots up fine. (Windows XP SP3 in this case).

The error in xend.log shows the following error:

Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.

Here is my ifconfig upon boot of the system:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1C:C0:2F:97:89 inet addr:192.168.3.39 Bcast:192.168.3.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

Here is my "brctl show" after boot:

Bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
eth0            8000.001cc02f9789       no              peth0
virbr0          8000.000000000000       yes

Not sure where to start looking. I've tried "virbr0", "peth0" and "eth0" under the vif line with the same error message. I must be missing something. Help! Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Daniel
