I am trying to create an HVM but when I start it up I see that it fails with this error message on the command line:
[root@xs5 xen]# xl create devoracle.cfg

My configuration is currently set up for VIFS:
vif = [ "script=vif-route" ]
I have tried different combinations of this, such as adding the mac address for xenbr0 (and also xenbr1) and the device name, but it never gets picked up. Xenbr0 does exist, I can see it in ifconfig:
xenbr0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

In addition, when I run the command, I see this occurring in the xen-hotplug.log:
xenstore-read: couldn't read path backend/vbd/40/768/node
xenstore-read: couldn't read path backend/vbd/40/832/node
And am seeing this in the log files generated when I run the create command:
qemu: ignoring not-understood drive `be:0x4f96ba:40:0x733540'
medium change watch on `be:0x4f96ba:40:0x733540' - unknown device, ignored
Am I missing something? Any recommendations or help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: Commenting out the vifs line from the configuration allows the HVM to start, but if this is the case, this won't allow connectivity to the outside world. Any advise on this would be helpful for me.
