Hi,

I've been arguing in private with Xen on Ubuntu for some months now and
am close to having a working domU on hardy.  The fact that hardy's
release date is so close has me worried, but anyway...

Recently with xen 3.2 I've been able to create a bootable domU again
rather than something that just sat and spun its wheels.  Various
package updates have corrected issues with block devices, etc, and now
I'm stuck on networking.

Using today's packages[1] I have created a new gutsy domU.  When I start
it I get:

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

A bzip2-compressed 'script' file is attached[2], showing:

xm dmesg
xm info
dpkg -l *xen*
xm log
cat /var/log/xen-tools/gutsy.log
cat /etc/xen/gutsy.cfg
sudo strace xm create /etc/xen/gutsy.cfg


Any suggestions?  I've tried Todd's ethtool suggestion but unfortunately
that made no difference that I could see ...

It is not the same problem reported in launchpad[3] where the vif is up,
and packets come in, but don't go out (204010).

Andrew.
