Thanks, I didn't notice that. If I boot the standard centos kernel it works
fine. Could it be reading an incorrect address?

If my memory serves me correctly, you've tried to force it to use a 
multicast mac address... the low bit of the first byte must be 0... change 
4f to 4e

(e.g. "1" is not valid for the first byte, but 0 is... )

alternatively, take one of the random one that XEN generates and
then hardcode that in the config file... that will get you a
valid address that won't overlap an vendor generated ones.
