[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#588594: xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64: (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working

[Olivier B.]

Package: xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64
Version: 4.0.1~rc3-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I upgrade one server from lenny to squeeze, to start testing xen-hypervisor-3.4 and xen-hypervisor-4.0, but it seems to don't work.

The error :
xm create -c /etc/xen/slhoka.cfg 
Using config file "/etc/xen/slhoka.cfg".
Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.

The error occur a long time (about 100 seconds) after creating the DomU.

>From what I read on the xen mailing-list, there is an incompatility with udev versions higher than 151 (and squeeze ship the version 158). But I don't know if there is a workaround.
Note I use a pvops dom0 kernel (from Jeremy's GIT, branch stable-2.6.32) because the kernel from Debian don't boot at all (no panic, no message, it just freeze).
