Hi Christian

For some reason I received this email only now ... Anyhow to the subject. I'm not missing bridging tools. I didn't change Xen's scripts and config files at all, and if I understand right bridging is the default setup in Xen. The only I did tinker with was the kernel. I don't know why but it wasn't only peth that wasn't created. In the domU that I started I saw all the network interfaces of dom0 as if the domU was running as dom0 (I didn't know it meant problems back then). To make a long story short: I ended up downgrading to 3.0.1 and everything has been great since. I also tinkered with the kernels in 3.0.1 to have the same exact configuration as the kernels in 3.0.2 so the problem wasn't caused by the kernel tinkering.






TIA
Paolo

What might be cause Xen not to create the device? I also tried to look for the string peth in /etc/xen (and sub folders) and /usr/lib/python/xen and the string doesn't exist.

Missing bridge-tools on your dom0 could cause such stuff i guess. May be using routing instead of bridging is anoption in your
case? Or try out a distribution that installs xen completely
itself like Fedora Core 5.
