And the network configuration:

# The loopback network interface
auto lo em1 xenbr0
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug xenbr0
iface xenbr0 inet static
    address 172.16.105.204
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 172.16.105.0
    broadcast 172.16.105.255
    gateway 172.16.105.1
    # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
    dns-nameservers 172.16.100.180
    #bridge_ports em1
# The primary network interface
iface em1 inet manual

The network configuration works fine fine with xen4.4. But the network cannot connected after I compiled xen4.6, even after I removed xen4.4.

Is there anything wrong? I believe it's the problem of grub configuration. But I can't figure out where it is. Besides, can two xen version exists together on one host? I'm now regret in upgrading cause everything now seems in fuzzy and sucks.
