I found the problem. It was the domain configuration file. Here is my
/etc/xen/capablanca domain configuration:

----B<--------
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-xenU"
memory=1024
name="capablanca"
disk=['phy:sdc1,sdc1,w','phy:sdc5,sdc5,w','phy:sdc6,sdc6,w']
root="/dev/sdc1 ro"
--------------

This kind of configuration worked until xen-unstable.hg changeset 8329.
But, the changeset 8330 made obsolete the usage of 'nics' option. In
the tools/python/xen/xm/create.py, the default value was set to '-1'.

The solution is to add an empty vif variable in the domain configuration
file.

Maybe it can be interesting to add a message when 'vif' variable and
'nics' variable are not defined in the domain configuration file to
precise that 'nics' is deprecated. Currently if none variables are
defined the network just doesn't work but the reason is not clear.


Hope this help,
Best regards,
Guillaume
