Hi,

I tried to upgrade my dom0 kernel from 2.6.31.6-dae-dom0-00751-g60e0545 to 2.6.31.6-dae-dom0-00757-ge65323d ; and domU doesn't start anymore.

I obtain this error message :
root! noburo:/var/log/xen# time xm create /etc/xen/hel.cfg
Using config file "/etc/xen/hel.cfg".
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not

And the error is triggered after 100 seconds...

I use Xen 3.4.2 (Debian amd64) in bridge mode, and a 2.6.31.12 vanilla pv_ops kernel.

In xen-hotplug.log I have only this line : Nothing to flush.

And in xend.log I found that :
[2010-01-29 15:26:12 6213] DEBUG (DevController:139) Waiting for devices vif.
[2010-01-29 15:26:12 6213] DEBUG (DevController:144) Waiting for 0.

Is there a bug in last pv_ops dom0 kernel, or have I something to fix in my setup ?


Do you have netback driver/module loaded?

Do you have udev installed? Start "udevmonitor" before you start the guest.. do you see hotplug events?

Sorry, I didn't your answer before... So if I start "udevadm monitor", I obtain :

udevmonitor will print the received events for:
UDEV the event which udev sends out after rule processing
UEVENT the kernel uevent

UEVENT[1266285891.062392] add      /devices/vbd-2-2048 (xen-backend)
UDEV  [1266285891.064356] add      /devices/vbd-2-2048 (xen-backend)

UDEV  [1266285892.497624] remove   /kernel/uids/65534 (uids)

UDEV  [1266285915.289918] add      /kernel/uids/101 (uids)

UEVENT[1266285975.204011] add      /kernel/uids/101 (uids)
UDEV  [1266285975.204632] add      /kernel/uids/101 (uids)
UEVENT[1266285976.236637] remove   /kernel/uids/101 (uids)
UDEV  [1266285976.238076] remove   /kernel/uids/101 (uids)

and after 100 seconds :

UDEV  [1266285991.911456] remove   /devices/console-2-0 (xen-backend)

UDEV  [1266285992.111812] change   /devices/virtual/block/drbd2 (block)

I also update my kernel to the 00776-gce7f50d version and have the same problem.

For the netback module, I have this entries in my dom0 .config file :
> CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_BACKEND=y
