Hi All,
I am having a really hard time starting xen-domain with a vbd file. I always get the error
"Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Backend device not found."
I have been using xen 2.0 before, but now i am not able to start domains with xen 3. I have no clue what could be the problem. I have done some testing, which is shown in the log below.

Any ideas/ help will be very appreciated,
Lamia Youseff
