Thanks for quick replies. Ok here are the symptoms of my problem. If anyone can point me in a specific direction I would appreciate it. I am porting OVS to an embedded platform. When running the start up script "/etc/init.d/openvswitch start", ovs-vswitchd and ovsdb-server both boot correctly.
The only error when running the start up scripts is ovs-ctl: line 714: uuidgen: not found missing uuidgen, could not generate system ID ... failed! After this I can create bridges and ports with ovs-vsctl add-br add-port. However my virtual switches are not showing up as network interfaces under ifconfig. Are the UUIDs necessary for identifying virtual bridges as net devices or is this a deeper problem. Just hoping for some confirmation on this idea before more cross compiling Thanks in advance!
