[Xen-users] Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected

[John Paul Walters <jpnwalters@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm new to Xen and am trying to get a VM set up.  I've built Xen 3.0.2-2
from source on a dual core AMD Opteron machine.  I'm able to boot into
the new kernel without any trouble.

Everything seems fine until I issue "xm create ttylinux".  At this
point, I'm told:
 
"Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Backend device not
found." is returned.  

Looking at ifconfig's output, this is no surprise:

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E0:81:59:1C:A7
          inet addr:10.1.1.101  Bcast:10.255.255.255  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::2e0:81ff:fe59:1ca7/64 Scope:Link

          RX bytes:3969380 (3.7 MiB)  TX bytes:3969380 (3.7 MiB)

So my question is, how can I get this interface created?  Should this
have been done automatically or is there some script that I have to run?

thanks,
JP
