Hi,
I just installed a clean debian etch 4.0r1 with LVM on our Dell PowerEdge
2900. The system has 2 Broadcom onboard NICs and I also installed 2 Intel
Pro 1000 NICs. I installed all needed pakages and also dev86.

apt-get install screen ssh debootstrap python python-twisted iproute
bridge-utils libcurl3-dev libssl0.9.7 libvncserver-dev yaird

I installed like this:

wget
http://bits.xensource.com/oss-xen/release/3.1.0/bin.tgz/xen-3.1.0-install-x8
6_32.tgz
tar xvzf xen-3.1.0-install-x86_32.tgz
cd dist/
./install.sh
mv /lib/tls /lib/tls.disabled
update-rc.d xend defaults 20 21
update-rc.d xendomains defaults 21 20
depmod 2.6.18-xen
mkinitrd.yaird -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-xen 2.6.18-xen
update-grub

All worked without any errors. So i rebooted into my xen kernel.

shutdown -r now

The kernel booted also without any errors an i got my login prompt. I tried
to login with ssh from my workstation but that did not work. So i tried to
ping my Server what also failed. An ifconfig gives me an eth0 device with my
local IP 192.168.1.6 a lo device a peth0 device a vif0.0 device and a xenbr0
device without any IP. I did not modify the /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp and my
/etc/network/interfaces looks like this:

iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.7
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        #network 192.168.1.0
        #broadcast 192.168.1.255
        gateway 192.168.1.201
        # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if
installed
        #dns-nameservers 192.168.1.210
        #dns-search manntech.local

auto eth3
iface eth3 inet static
        address 192.168.99.7
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.99.0
        broadcast 192.168.99.255


While eth0 is my default LAN interface and eth3 is my crossover interface to
the 2nd clusternode. If I change

(network-script network-bridge)
to
(network-script 'network-bridge netdev=eth1')

my eth0 works fine but any DomU I start does not get any network connection.

I did many tests and on a Desktop System I used to test the same setup
(Debian Etch 4.0r1 and Xen 3.1) there was no problem with eth0 after the
installation. I also tried to install Xen 3.1 from source and I also
compiled my own Dom0 kernel. Nothing helped.

This is my dmesg with (network-script 'network-bridge netdev=eth1')
