Here's the output of
[root@fnpcsrv5 ~]# brctl show
bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
xenbr0 8000.feffffffffff no vif2.0
vif1.0
peth0
vif0.0
xenbr1 8000.000000000000 no
and here's xend-config.sxp
[root@fnpcsrv5 xen]# grep net xend-config.sxp | grep -v ^#
(network-script network-bridge)
And here's what the domU config files show at the moment:
vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:0f:05:01, bridge=xenbr0' ]
------------
I was at one point running a second bridge, but took it out
during the debugging. Nevertheless the xenbr1 doesn't go away.
and I haven't figured out any brctl commands that will make it go away.
From a similarly-configured working machine on different hardware, this
is what I wanted to do (and what I had originally configured on this one
too), and has been working fine for me on many other
machines.
[root@fermigrid5 ~]# brctl show

vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3e:05:05:01, bridge=xenbr0', 'mac=00:16:3e:05:05:0a,

Hope this helps us figure out what is wrong.
Have seen a couple places on the net that a bios upgrade
and-or tweak to the broadcom controller is needed
for the PE1950 to fix related problems. Has anyone tried?

note that the Xen kernel 2.6.18 picks the opposite mac addresses as eth0
from what the redhatized non-xen kernel does. This is
undone by ifcfg-eth0.
When the xen kernel boots, before xend starts, I can see the outside
network just fine.

As part of the debugging I dialed back my configuration, which normally
has a xenbr0 and a xenbr1, to use a just a xenbr0 and have just one
network interface on each domU and on the dom0. Nevertheless the
problem is the same and I can't seem to get rid of the xenbr1.
I note that at the start of the xend there is a timeout of about 10-15
seconds as it is trying to turn on the second bridge.
Now here is the really strange part. While logged in on the
console of the dom0, I can go ahead and start xen domU's, and they
go ahead and boot up normally and can see the outside network fine.
[root@fnpcsrv5 ~]# xm list
Name ID Mem VCPUs State
Time(s)
Domain-0 0 1953 8 r-----
127.3
fnpc5x1 1 6000 4 -b----

fnpc5x4 2 2000 1 -b----
20.6
[root@fnpcsrv5 ~]#
Oh, and by the way, dom0 is pingable from the domU's although
it cannot be seen from the outside net.
What should I be looking at?
Could you also provide the output of:
brctl show
grep net /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp | grep -v '#'
Also, in the domU config files what are you specifying for the bridge?
Are you running any custom network scripts (these would be specified in
/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp and should have shown up in the output of the grep
above.
Cheers,
Todd
