[Xen-users] Re: xen is causing network problems to Dom0 - bridge problem?

["Marco Strullato" <marco.strullato@xxxxxxxxx>]

Solved: I deleted the directory /var/lib/xend/state and reboot. The problem was due to a dirty configuration present into that directory

Hi all!
xen is causing network problems to Dom0.

I'll explain what happens during boot:
-network interface module is loaded correctly
-network starts correctly and it gets an ip from dhcp
-xend starts and make Dom0 offline.

/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp is:
(xend-unix-server yes)
(xend-unix-path /var/lib/xend/xend-socket)
(xend-relocation-hosts-allow '^localhost$ ^localhost\\.localdomain$')
(network-script network-bridge)
(vif-script vif-bridge)
(dom0-min-mem 256)
(dom0-cpus 0)
(vncpasswd '')

I think the problem is due to /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge: I think the script has some problem and it does not complete the bridge creation.
If I boot Dom0 without starting xend. I get eth0 and lo running
If I boot Dom0 starting network and xend I get lo, tmpbridge and virbr0 interfaces: eth0 is missing and there are other devices that appears to be temporary devices.
If I boot Dom0 starting only network and I execute /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge start I get eth0, lo, peth0: so it appears that the script is running fine.
if I boot Dom0 starting network, executing the script tc/xen/scripts/network-bridge start and then service xend start I get eth0, lo, peth0, tmpbridge and virbr0: xen runs well however ther are tmpbridge and virbr0 devices.
if I boot Dom0 starting network, executing the script /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge start, executing service xend start and xm create <DomainU> I get eth0, lo, peth0, tmpbridge, virbr0 and vif1.0.

I changed the log level to debug and I wrote some set -x in the right place: I get

What do you think?
Did you have the same problem?

Thanks
