[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#393609: xen-ioemu-3.0-unstable: Wrong location of /etc/xen/qemu-ifup prevents HVM domains to boot

[Luigi Gangitano]

Package: xen-ioemu-3.0-unstable
Version: 3.0-unstable+hg11561-1
Severity: normal


When trying to create an HVM domain with vif settings enabled (as default)
qemu-dm fails to start the virtual machine claiming that the tap device cannot
be found. This is because qemu-dm tries to execute /etc/xen/qemu-ifup which is
instead located in /etc/xen/scripts/qemu-ifup.

As a side note qemu-dm seems to be unable to automatically load needed modules
(loop, tun, etc.) when starting HVM domains. Many issues with virtual cdrom
devices can be resolved loading loop.ko.

Regards,

L
