I just installed a rawhide installation as a XEN guest today on a updated FC5 dom0 with xen-3.0.2-3.FC5 and kernel 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5xen0. But after installing and booting a couple of times I get this error message: Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working. A boot clears the problem, so I guess it is some kind of resources that isn't cleaned up, probably related to (virtual) interfaces. All guests are LVM-backed so it's not loop devices that's exhausted. -- Fedora-xen@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-xen
