Thread-topic: IA64 using Redhat 5.1: xm create fails: Hotplug scripts not working.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to bring up an hvm guest on a Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.1 on an IA64 host machine.

The configuration file looks like this:

import os, re
arch_libdir = 'lib'
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 512
shadow_memory = 32
name = "PSI52"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:00:dd:11, bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'file:/var/lib/xen/images/PSI_52.img,hda,w', 'file:/root/ML5.2-IA64.iso,hdc:cdrom,r' ]
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncpasswd='psipsi'
stdvga=0
serial='pty'

When I try to "xm create", here is what happens:

Using config file "./PSI52.hvm".
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.

In the /var/log/xen log files, I see:

[2007-11-13 06:55:22 xend.XendDomainInfo 11529] DEBUG (XendDomainInfo:988) XendDomainInfo.handleShutdownWatch

Does anyone have any ideas about how I can debug this?

Thanks!
