No reason I used the tarball other than it was first on the list :) I would be glad to remove what's on there now and reinstall with RPMs, part of the problem is that I don't know the steps to completely remove Xen and start clean; this is the best list I found:
or download the src tarball and make uninstall (probably will be my first try)
To answer your other questions, yes - the trouble is with Dom0, and yes I have multiple (2) NICs (same hw). So with 2 NICs, I presume I cannot simply comment out the HWARDDR (cause I tried that and it didn't help); so what is the procedure for 2 NICs?

First, why aren't you using the RHEL 4 RPM? It's true they accidentally
left out the documentaiton in that, but it works fine, and has RPM
kernels for both Dom0 and DomU.
Second, unless you hard-code your MAC address in your Xen configuration
file, it's going to get changed randomly in your DomU's every freaking
time you reboot them. And RedHat's network setup tools look in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* to associate the HWADDR
setting with specific network devices. This keeps eth0 and eth1 from
getting swapped around for different kernel configurations, and helps
keep the network device names consistent when adding wi-fi or USB
network devices.
You can also simply comment out the HWADDR lines in
/etc/sysconfig/networ-kscripts/ifcfg-eth* if you have only one network
device and thus aren't worried about swapping them.
Is the problem in your Dom0? Do you have multiple network devices?

See above.
