Re: [Xen-users] Xen 3.2.1 can't use NFS-root for Dom0?

[emisca <emisca.ml@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have not tried anything like what you are trying to got, but perhaps
if the problem it's that xen tools enable the bridge and brings down
the network.

If I have understood well the problem is that when xend starts it
brings down your physical if to create the bridge, and then the nfs
root mount loose the connection.

You have to figure out how to enable the bridge on the
initrd/initramfs (so you have to include in it the brctl command at
least), before the nfs root gets mounted.
I'm not a gentoo user, but you can ask on the gentoo forums for this.
Alternatively you can manually build (it's not the simplier way...) an
initrd that contains the brctl command and calls 'brctl addbr
nameofbrif; brctl addif ethX'.
