[Xen-devel] Backend device not found?
Can somebody help with what must be a really simple problem? I've got a
stock xen 3.0 installation on a brand new Redhat ES4 installation. I've
got all the usual stuff installed - brutils, iproute2, hotplug, etc.
Dom0 boots fine, and xend starts up ok. But when I try to start domU
using the command:
xm create -f /etc/xen/xmexample2 vmid=4
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-xenU" -c
I get the message:
Using config file "/etc/xen/xmexample2".
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Backend device not found.
Appending "nics=0" to the command line makes the problem error go away,
but of course networking doesn't work.
Two other data points: First, the exact same xen and dom0/domU binaries
work fine on another installation. Second, I saw this exact problem two
months ago. So I have to assume it's some kind of configuration error,
since I don't recall seeing other people reporting this behavior.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Rob
