How are other people getting this to work on FC4? Why does the check_hotplug script require udev >= 059?udev 059 introduced new rule syntax and semantics, which we use.If you don't have udev 059, you need to use the older hotplug stuff. Do youhave an /sbin/hotplug? I have worked around this with a very simple set of rules [1]. This immediately allowed me to get domU images running. I'm unsure as to what the effect of discarding all the other parameters has had. I notice that 8 vif0/veth interfaces are created in dom0. I believe providing a parameter to the driver would overcome this (if it worried me). What concerned me slightly was a spurious vif5.0 appearing in dom0 (before ANY domU's had been created). I am now back to working out why I can get ICMP traffic working, but getting other traffic forwarding is eluding me. It seems to relate to my VLAN/bridge/vif configuration. I've looked at ecn, MAC addresses, arp_filter, rp_filter, log_martians, bridge stp settings, vlan configs, ethtool settings, and googled late into the night. I would still be VERY keen to hear from anyone on successes (or failures) with VLANs and xen. Possible areas to look at would be great. Strange thing is, I have one machine (with a single VLAN) working ok [but I'm reluctant to touch it, because I don't know why it works when the other machines don't].
