The following reply was made to PR kern/154302; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Janne Snabb <snabb@epipe.com> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: kern/154302: xn0: Error 2 parsing device/vif/0/mac [WORKAROUND] Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2011 09:12:06 +0000 (UTC) Justin T. Gibbs pointed out[1] that there is a simple workaround to this problem: Just remove 'type=ioemu' from the Xen domU's configuration. For example change: vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=br0' ] ...to: vif = [ 'bridge=br0' ] After that the the mac node magically appears on the front-end side: # xenstore-read device/vif/0/mac 00:16:3e:69:3e:99 I think there is still a need for a patch though because not everyone (for examle VPS customers) have access to their domU's configuration.
