I'm sorry, the only hint I could give you is to update to 3.1 I'm having a less problems with 3.1 than I'm having with 3.0.x On a Dell Poweredge 1950 I simply installed etch and xen 3.1. The only thing I had to do was to install Broadcom nic driver. No problems occurred whatsoever. Try 3.1!

By "working", I mean that the "RUNNING" flag appears on the guest domain's vif when I run ifconfig and that the private networking between the host and the guests works. I'll be investigating more into this issue; meanwhile, any input would be appreciated.
