RE: [Xen-users] Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working

["Ian Tobin" <itobin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Can anyone help?

I have again installed a fresh OS Debian Lenny 64bit and done the
following

Xen:
        downloaded xen-3.4.2.tar.gz and extract it
        cd xen-3.4.2
        make xen
        make tools
        make stubdom
 
cd dist/install/
cp -R * /
 
downloaded Jeremys kernel

make menuconfig
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
add to /etc/fstab      none /proc/xen  xenfs  defaults 0 0
cp -a arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.6
cp -a System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.31.6
cp -a .config /boot/config-2.6.31.6
depmod -a
update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.31.6

added grub line and rebooted. XEN starts but DomU just keeps coming up
about hotplug scripts not working.

Anyone?

Thanks

Ian

I had this issue couple of time.... But I go for some quick fix for it.
what your udev directory says:

# ls -l /etc/udev/rules.d

If not hotplug scripts exist, copy it from tools (could be some
dependency issue e.g uuid not installed )
