Package: libvirt-bin
Version: 0.8.3-5+squeeze1
Severity: normal
I set up once a VM with Squeeze (using kvm) and a bridge (br0) with a
"persistent" (added in /etc/network/interfaces) tap0 interface.
This VM worked perfectly with a command like "kvm -hda test.qcow2 [...] -net nic
-net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no", guest was reachable through tap0
While I defined this VM through virsh (see dumpxml below), virsh get the VM
started but couldn't ping it from host. VNC access worked, though (showing that
VM was running indeed).
I got a "warning" in /var/log/messages :
libvirtd: 14:41:53.994: warning : qemudParsePCIDeviceStrs:1422 : Unexpected
exit status '1', qemu probably failed
kernel: [136819.333361] device vnet0 entered promiscuous mode
kernel: [136819.333924] br0: topology change detected, propagating
kernel: [136819.333927] br0: port 2(vnet0) entering forwarding state
But nothing "suspect" in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/SqueezeVM.log :

Running an "ifconfig" in VM shell, all I got was the "lo" interface.
