Re: [Xen-users] Re: Debian DomainU failing with: Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected.

[Michael Walker <mwalker@xxxxxxxx>]

Mathew - thank you very much, this solved my problem.

It appears that my 'make install' did not install these scripts as they
should but instead installed scripts in '/etc/hotplug'.

When I copied the files in by hand as you sugest - I can now boot and run
my first xenU domain.

Good stuff and thanx for the help.
