Re: Xen on lenny fails after upgrade from etch?

Hi again,

> hope that helps
before I did that, I noticed there were numerous xen 3.2 packages available.

Removing the xen 3.0 stuff was easy (and would have to be done anyway), but then came the issues.

Now, almost everything is fine as long as you remove xen 3.0, because the kernel that comes with Debian seems to work with xen 3.2. At least suddenly I could even boot the new kernel (after installing the xen 3.2 stuff and getting rid of the old).

However, some changes were needed after booting into the new kernel:
1.) The Xen config needed the interface name explicitly. See: <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=477525#13>
2.) I had to adjust the kernel and ramdisk parameters in the domU .cfg files (for obvious reasons ;))

After doing those steps, I got "Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. /etc/xen/scripts/vif-route failed; error detected." when attempting to create the domU, using "xm create domu.cfg".

That's where I am stuck now. Any ideas? ifconfig does not yet show the "vif" interfaces, but that was normal as far as I recall (i.e. those are created in the process). Or am I mistaking and they have to be created manually?


Thanks,
