[Fedora-xen] dummy network interface laptop configuration problem

[Deependra Shekhawat]

Hi,

Thanks for the script. It's working. But now I got a new problem. Whenever I
try to create a new virtual machine using either virt-install or
virt-manager I get this error:
Failed to get devices for domain rhel5pv1
libvirt.libvirtError: virDomainCreateLinux() failed

I guess I am doing something wrong in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp. This is what
I did in it:

(network-script 'network-bridge netdev=dummy0')

The line regarding xenbr0 is commented:

# The bridge is named xenbr0, by default.  To rename the bridge, use
#
# (network-script 'network-bridge bridge=xenbr0')

I guess this should bridge xenbr0 via dummy0.
Tell me if I am doing something wrong. One more thing I like to say is that
the doc I pointed out earlier is not perfect. I wrote the script by my hand
and then too it failed with the last 2 errors. Also the lines related on how
to make xenbr0 bridge to dummy0 are not exact if you read them carefully.

Regards
Deependra
