[Bug 1357564] [NEW] brcompat does't start in Precise (12.04.5)

[Thiago Martins]

Public bug reported:

Guys,

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.04.5 with OpenvSwitch and its BRCOMPAT
module (since old libvirt doesn't support OVS) but, it does not work.

Error:

---
root at hyper-kvm-gateway-1:~# service openvswitch-switch restart
 * ovs-brcompatd is not running
 * Killing ovs-vswitchd (4519)
 * Killing ovsdb-server (4510)

 * Inserting brcompat module
 * could not load brcompat module, disabling bridge compatibility

The old "bridge" kernel module isn't loaded.

Am I missing something?!

Tks!
