Re: [Xen-users] max loop

["Mitch" <mitchkelly@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i had exactly the same problem

This fixed it:
edit /etc/xen/network-bridge
Find the line that says:
${vifnum:-$(ip route list | awk '/^default / { print $NF }' | sed 
's/^[^0-9]*//')}
Comment it out
Put there instead:
vifnum=0
Reboot PC

Loaded up 12Xens so far with no issues.

My original problem was related to the max_loop and it wouldnt bring up 
peth0 veth0 xenbr0, The fix above fixed it..
if you type: ip route list | awk '/^default /'
It should say something like this:
default via xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx dev eth0  metric 100
The problem is it tried to make veth100...

let me know how you go..

Hi,

I've been confused a little before now getting max_loop to work before
now. I use debian etch these days where i add to /etc/modules config
file loop max_loop=64.
