"Error: Device 51744 (vbd) could not be connected. Hotplug
scripts not working.", which is quite vague."

You might have smaller no of loopback devices in your domain. By the default there are only 8 loops available. but you can increase the limit up to 256 max this way:-
1- Add this line to /etc/modprobe.conf
    options loop max_loop=256
2- The other way is to add 'loop' to /etc/modules
     and add the same above mentioned option in /etc/modprobe.d/options

Hi:

I'm newbie to Xen. I'm using Suse as Dom0, and Debian5 as DomU. If no IP is specified, VM starts OK. Else, it fails and shows the following error:

Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.

Googl'ing a lot bit I've seen this error is quite common, but I have found no solution. Any ideas? If you need any other information, just ask ;)

Thanks!!!
