I'm running 2.6.18-5-xen-amd64 on debian etch with the xen-hypervisor-3.0.3-1-amd64 package installed.

When I create a domU with the vifname specified in the config file, it works fine after it's created, but if it is rebooted from domU or xm reboot vpsname, the network doesn't work when it comes back up. If I shutdown the domU and create it again with xm create vpsname, the network works fine again.

If I do not specify the vifname in the config file, the network comes back up after a reboot.

Does anyone know why specifying the vifname in the .cfg file might cause the network to not work on domU after a reboot?



a config with vif specified this way works after reboot:

vif = [ '' ]

this does not work after reboot:

vif = [ 'vifname=vps25vif' ]

from the kern.log, it looks like the vif comes up, but then goes right down again. I don't see an error in the xend.log.

from kern.log:
