[Xen-users] xen on openSUSE

[Németh Tamás <nice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear developers!

I've found that recent xen releases cannot be simly run on openSUSE! The
script /etc/xen/scripts/xen-network-common.sh makes some incorrect
assumptions on the SuSE ifup script. Bridged xen networking only works
if the script executes this branch:

preiftransfer()
{
  true
}

ifup()
{
  false
}

ifdown()
{
  false
}

Otherwise the xen networking scripts fail to put the main bridge (called
eth0 on my servers) into the up state, because it thinks that it's
already up, but it's down in fact! So, I think the mentioned script
should choose the branch above, if it finds the file /etc/SuSE-release.

Or something like that.

Best regards:

Tamas Nemeth
