Comment 32 for bug 886521

Alex, Diana, I think even with the built-in paravirt net and block drivers there is still a problem which I think I saw on oneiric and right now confirmed on natty. I think it may still be unresolved even upstream, but it was one issue I did not follow before oneiric release as there where other pieces not working.

Booting without any xen_emul_unplug option. With the built-in blkfront and netfront (and pci platform). All emulated devices get unplugged as expected. The xvd driver does take over and a disk is found. It looks like the netfront would take over as well but it is not set up. This only works if in the config, the vif is not using type=ioemu.

Can you see the same? If yes, I need to verify this with precise guest and host combinations and then this should get a new bug and be tracked there. Having the options changed for natty and oneiric should be independent. At least things get better.
