It can't be ssh-connected remotely. After starting it with "xm console ....." it can't ping the host, other guests and Internet. # /etc/init.d/networking restart Reconfiguring network interfaces...SIOCSIFADDR: No such device eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device Failed to bring up eth0. # find /sys -iname *eth* /sys/class/net/eth5 /sys/devices/xen/vif-0/net:eth5 I was compelled to remove udev. # apt-get remove udev # rm -rf /etc/udev # rm /etc/init.d/udev # reboot Then it returns normal. I think the guests must run dynamic MAC address. B.R.
