init.d/xend should say: depend() { need net before xendomains sshd ntpd nfs nfsmount rsyncd portmap dhcp } * xendomains, not xendomain * Added dhcp init.d/xendomains should say: depend() { need xend after dhcp } * Added after dhcp The dhcp additions are in case you want dom0 to serve dhcp for your guest domains.
Should be fixed in -r2. Thanks for your help.
