Hi, I would like to have Xen to run unmodified OS (Windows, and some other Linuces). I know Linux may be ran Xen-aware, but the goal is to experiment some kernel packaging, so that I need to use the distribution kernel. I got the FC5 isos. I made a file "/etc/xen/fc5-guest.cfg" (see attached) But the problem is about vifX interfaces. Neither http://fr.gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_XEN#Windows_XP nor http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xen_and_Gentoo tells how to bring up such interface. In fact I dont see anywhere any documentation on how to setup networking for the need of Xen. When I run Xen, I have:
asus ~ # xm create fc5-guest.cfg Using config file "/etc/xen/fc5-guest.cfg". VNC= 3 Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working. bridge-utils is already emerged. vnc is also emerged with USE="server" What didi I do wrong?
