[Xen-users] Xen 3.3.0 on Gentoo Kernel 2.6.18, Bridge-Setup Problems

["Andreas Westermaier" <andreas.westermaier@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm new to this list. The last days I messed a bit around with Xen on Gentoo 
(2.6.18, emerged xen-sources) and after disabling IPv6 support in the kernel I 
also got the network-bridge script almost working I think. There are no error 
messages anymore.

Reading the Xen Wiki [1] I found that the network-bridge script should perform 
the following actions:
1. creates a new bridge named xenbr0
2. "real" ethernet interface eth0 is brought down
3. the IP and MAC addresses of eth0 are copied to virtual network interface 
veth0
4. real interface eth0 is renamed peth0
5. virtual interface veth0 is renamed eth0
6. peth0 and vif0.0 are attached to bridge xenbr0
7. the bridge, peth0, eth0 and vif0.0 are brought up

In my case it successfully creates the bridge xenbr0 and renames the real 
interface eth0 to peth0. ifconfig shows up:

          RX bytes:3392032 (3.2 MiB)  TX bytes:84049770 (80.1 MiB)

xenbr0 and peth0 have the same mac addresses. No new (virtual) eth0 and vif0.0 
device is created (also verified by trying to get them manually up with 
'ifconfig XXX up').

My xend-config.sxp looks like this:

(network-script 'network-bridge netdev=eth0 bridge=xenbr0 vifnum=0')
(vif-script vif-bridge)
(dom0-min-mem 196)
(enable-dom0-ballooning yes)
(dom0-cpus 0)


Any ideas on this issue?
