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

Hi,

I installed a NetBSD -current dom0 and now I'm trying to
install a NetBSD domU.

This seems to be a faq, but I don't find a anwser for my
case.

I use xenkernel30 and xentools30 package from pkgsrc
-current. xend is started

My configugration for domU
# cat nbsd
kernel =
"/xen/compile/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/XEN3_DOMU/netbs
d"
memory = 128
name = "nbsd"
disk = [ 'file:/xen/domU/boot.iso,0x04,r' ,
'file:/xen/domU/nbsd,0x03,w' ]
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:18:cc:50 , bridge=bridge0' ]
root = "/dev/wd0d"

(devices in hex are from
h
ttp://wiki.netbsd.se/index.php/xen3-installen, if someone can
explain how to convert device name to hex would be great
also)

when I try to start domU:
# xm create -c nbsd
Using config file "nbsd".
/usr/pkg/lib/python2.4/xmllib.py:9: DeprecationWarning: The
xmllib
module is obsolete.  Use xml.sax instead.
  warnings.warn("The xmllib module is obsolete.  Use
xml.sax

Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug

interresting thing is at the same time, ifconfig shows a

You probably want something like "xbd0" here,
instead of /dev/wd0d
(there's no wd devices in domU, only xbd)

Is xenbackendd running ? If so you should have some info
in /var/log/xenbackendd.log

root = "/dev/wd0d" is on the NetBSD/xen howto
maybe it's only for xen2.

Thanks! NetBSD has been installed without problem but on
xbd1 not on
xbd0. After I needed to change /etc/fstab (xbd1 -> xbd0)

Yes, because in your disk entry you had boot.iso first.

I don't think it effects operation (yet) ... but installing
these packages:

expat-2.0.0nb1
py24-expat-0nb4

Should remove that warning.
