Hi,

I've tried to run 5 QEMU guests simultanously but when trying to start
the 5th I'll get the following error message:

warning: could not open /dev/tun7 (No such file or directory): no
virtual network emulation
Could not initialize device 'tap'

I have no idea why it looks for /dev/tun7 but after that I cd'ed to /dev
and issued the command "./MAKEDEV tun4" but now I get the following
message when starting qemu:

Initializing ??..
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: Device not configured
ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: Device not configured
ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE: File exists
brconfig: bridge0: ??: No such file or directory

Its the same message even if I create a tun7 device instead.

QEMU starts but is not reachable. I figured out that when adding the
new tun4 device to the bridge manually shortly after qemu was started,
or if activated with link0 manually, the guest becomes available so I
figure that there is some issue with qemu sending the right device name
to /etc/qemu-ifup as it only shows ?? instead of tunX like it normally
does. Specifying name=/dev/tun4 as -net tap parameter doesn't work either.

Someone got an idea or time to debug this? Is this an OpenBSD or QEMU
issue?


Thanks in advance,

Michael

PS: i386 machine with OpenBSD 4.1-stable. Problem persists even after
backporting QEMU version 0.9 from OpenBSD 4.2 to 4.1.
