I have a server with 3 NICs, 0 & 1 are internal nets, and 3 is internet
and nfs access to install location.  I have done a clean install of F7 &
xen: 2.6.20-2925.11.fc7xen.

xm list shows:
Name                                      ID   Mem VCPUs      State
Time(s)
Domain-0                                   0   941     1     r-----
1313.4

But everytime I run virt install it fails with: "(vif) could not be
connected".  I have replicated this exact error on two different
machines that have three network cards.  

This is what happens:
# virt-install
What is the name of your virtual machine? vm01
How much RAM should be allocated (in megabytes)? 256
What would you like to use as the disk (path)? /opt/vm01.img
How large would you like the disk (/opt/vm01.img) to be (in gigabytes)?
6
Would you like to enable graphics support? (yes or no) no
What is the install location? nfs:19.10.101.27:/media/f7


Starting install...
libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed: 
libvir: Xen Daemon error : GET operation failed: 
Creating storage file...  100% |=========================| 6.0 GB
00:00     
libvir: Xen Daemon error : POST operation failed: (xend.err 'Device 0
(vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.')


This is what is configured by the system before running virt-install.
The documentation says Xen creates, by default, seven pair of "connected
virtual ethernet interfaces" for use by dom0. Should they have been
created by now, and if so why not & can I manually force them to be
made?  Any help would be greatly appreciated - at this point I'm
completely stuck.
