Subject: [Bug 204010] Workaround Procedure

I was able to get things working by doing the following:

PREREQUISITES:
==========
*The domUs are able to start
*The domUs have interfaces
*The dom0 and domUs are unable to ping each other.
* "brctl show" should show something like:
   bridge name     bridge id                          STP
enabled      interfaces
   eth0
8000.001ec93cb620    no                        peth0

vif1.0
* dom0 can run anything up to and including 2.6.24-16. Latter kernels
   have not been tested.

(note: the /gutsy is not a typo. Its a way to tell apt-get to
use a different release of ubuntu)

PROCEDURE:
=========
1. apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-xen/gutsy
2. apt-get install linux-image-2.6.22-14-xen/gutsy
3. apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-xen/gutsy
4. Edit the /etc/xen/*.cfg file, and replace:
    kernel      = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-15-xen'
    ramdisk     = '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-15-xen'
with:
    kernel      = '/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22-14-xen'
    ramdisk     = '/boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-14-xen'
