Re: Ubuntu 9.09 domu under NetBSDXen

Thanks a bunch!

I am almost there - my primary issue at this point is that I cannot seem 
to get networking working.

When I boot I see:
====
...
Initializing Xen virtual ethernet driver.
net eth0: backend does not support copying receive path
...
XENBUS: Timeout connecting to device: device/vif/0 (state 1)
====

My config file I have:
====
vif = [ 'bridge=bridge0, mac=aa:00:00:50:02:f4' ]
====

Similar vif work (with different mac address) on other domUs.

Any suggestions on what to poke next?
