           Summary: Booting a new XEN VM fails: "Error: Device 1 (vif) could
                    not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working."
           Product: SUSE Linux 10.1
           Version: Final
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Xen
        AssignedTo: cgriffin@xxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: Ulrich.Windl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
         QAContact: qa@xxxxxxx


When trying to install a new XEN VM from a network (NFS) source (as suggested),
the VM cannot be created (YaST does not tell the reason to the user). It turns
out that the message reads:
Error: Device 1 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.

The line:
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:ff:3b:18,bridge=xenbr0',
'mac=00:16:3e:c0:92:08,bridge=xenbr1' ]
causes that problem. If replaced with
vif = []
the VM can be created, but then it cannot locate the installation source via
NFS (naturally).
