I have followed the guide to creating the perfect Xen 3.0.3 install on Debian Sarge. I have managed to get a Dom0 to boot (this was a bit of an effort as Yaird didn't like my RAID setup and initramfs doesn't want to install from backports! In the end I upgraded the machine to unstable, build an initramfs, copied the initramfs off the machine and reinstalled Sarge! It was messy but it worked!) however I cannot boot a DomU. It complains about vif0 and says that Hotpluging support is not working. I have found a great many references to this on google but noone of them seem to solve my problem. Most seem to relate to a problem with udev. I am assuming the howto doesn't use udev? Does anyone have any ideas what is causing the hotplugging problems? I have searched and searched but I can't figure it out.
What are the exact error messages? The tutorial uses the Xen 3.0.3 kernel (2.6.16.29, if I remember correctly) which uses udev, so that should not be a problem.
