Pasi,

Would it be possible for you to update your tutorial at: 
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/RHEL6Xen4Tutorial and create a patch file to 
take care of this Xen bridge issue?

Per your suggestion, I tried mayoung's el6 xendom0 kernel rpm: 
kernel-2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.xendom0.i686.rpm but, the server won't boot.

 

I tried to compile its src file: kernel-2.6.32-131.6.1.el6.xendom0.src.rpm, the 
system returned many errors and then halted at:  + make -s ARCH=i386 V=1 -j4 
modules

(see attached copy of building errors)

 

Yur help is greatly appreciated.
