Re: [Xen-users] peth device

[Paolo Supino <paolo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Christian

 For some reason I received this email only now ... Anyhow to the 
subject. I'm not missing bridging tools. I didn't change Xen's scripts 
and config files at all, and if I understand right bridging is the 
default setup in Xen. The only I did tinker with was the kernel. I don't 
know why but it wasn't only peth that wasn't created. In the domU that I 
started I saw all the network interfaces of dom0 as if the domU was 
running as dom0 (I didn't know it meant problems back then). To make a 
long story short: I ended up downgrading to 3.0.1 and everything has 
been great since. I also tinkered with the kernels in 3.0.1 to have the 
same exact configuration as the kernels in 3.0.2 so the problem wasn't 
caused by the kernel tinkering.





TIA
Paolo
