I'm not sure what is causing the problems you are seeing, but in openSUSE 11.1, the use of the network-bridge script is deprecated. The preferred method is to use yast to setup your bridges. If xen is installed during the initial OS installation, then bridges are configured by default. However, it is still a relatively simple matter to setup the bridges through yast even after the fact. The toughest part is remembering that the bridge gets the configuration for domain0 and the physical interface is left unconfigured. I would definitely recommend using yast rather than creating a custom bridge script. If you need help with the details on how to setup the bridges through yast, I'd be happy to provide some step by step instructions. Jason

then reboot to 'kernel-xen', startup hangs in console @
"setting up loopback interface lo"
and proceeds no further ...
reboot to 'kernel', checking xen log, it's empty :-/

Ideas?
Thanks.
