Hi, I'm running FC7 with the 2.6.20-2931.fc7xen kernel and used virt-manager to configure a xp guest domain. I receive the following message after trying to run the xp guest: virsh # start xp (xend.err 'Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.')
virsh # dumpxml xp <domain type='xen' id='-1'> <name>xp</name> <uuid>0fe4b14b-ce6a-d84c-dc69-1f9e0cce544d</uuid> <os> <type>hvm</type> <loader>/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader</loader> <boot dev='hd'/> </os> <memory>512000</memory> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <on_poweroff>destroy</on_poweroff> <on_reboot>restart</on_reboot> <on_crash>restart</on_crash> <features> <acpi/> <apic/> <pae/> </features> <clock offset='utc'/> <devices> <emulator>/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm</emulator> <interface type='bridge'> <source bridge='eth0'/> <target dev='vif-1.0'/> <mac address='00:16:3e:72:d3:89'/> </interface> <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='file'/> <source file='/var/lib/xen/images/xp.img'/> <target dev='hda'/> </disk> <disk type='file' device='cdrom'> <driver name='file'/> <source file='/var/lib/xen/images/winxp.iso'/> <target dev='hdc'/> <readonly/> </disk> <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'/> <graphics type='vnc' port='-1'/> </devices> </domain>
winxp.iso one provided in such a way: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/var/lib/xen/images/winxp.iso
for an assistance I am very grateful, Goodarz
