Re: [Xen-users] qemu

Jiri,

Thanks for your response, I figured it out eventually - I have windows 
installed and working... except for one thing, the network adapter does 
not install.  This is because I have;
vif = [ ' ' ] and what I should have is vif = [ 'type=ioemu' ]  -  
However, if I have this configuration the virtual machine doesn't start, 
looking in the most recent qemu log reveals that the TAP device could 
not be created, I have TUN/TAP installed as a kernel module - has anyone 
seen this sort of problem before?  Have any idea how to fix?
Ryan.
