VmError: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working
mei51@lnxmei51:/var/log$

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I am not able to get to the DomU Console

lnxmei51:/# xm create test
Using config file "/etc/xen/test".
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working
lnxmei51:/#

lnxmei51:/# xm console test

no output
console hang !!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some facts
Here my Config File

ame ="test"
kernel ="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12.6-xenU"
root ="/dev/sdb1"
memory =128
disk = ['file:/home/xen/images/test.img,sdb1,w','file:/home/xen/images/test_swa$

# network
vif = [ 'mac=aa:00:00:00:00:11, bridge=xenbr0' ]
nics=1
dhcp ="off"
ip="145.228.166.251"
netmask="255.255.255.224"
gateway="145.228.166.225"
hostname="test.herbert.com"

extra="3"

****************************

So the result:

DomU works, but I have no chance to get in (no console, no network)
