Hello,

I can not setup any guest's becose of missing interfaces.
/var/log/xend-debug.log:

Link veth0 is missing.
This may be because you have reached the limit of the number of
interfaces that the loopback driver supports.  If the loopback driver is
a module, you may raise this limit by passing it as a parameter
(nloopbacks=<N>); if the driver is compiled statically into the kernel,
then you may set the parameter using loopback.nloopbacks=<N> on the
domain 0 kernel command line.

Hardware: HP DL380 G5, 16G memory, 4 nic's from type bnx2, eth0 - eth3 are
all there.
ifconfig -a prints eth0,eth1,eth2,eth3,lo

With kernel parameter "loopback.nloopbacks=128" i have the same problem.
Again with loopback.nloopbacks= .32,48,128,164,256. always no tun0 or
xenbr0.

What can be wrong here ?

Many thanks for any help.
Thomas
