F7 is old and supported. If you want to try out Xen on live CD, you'd
be better with Xen Live CD :P

That won't work. If you've already carved out vlan400 in dom0, then
domU won't have it. You should either :
- use vlan ONLY in dom0, and bridge the vlan interface, or
- use vlan ONLY in domU, and bridge the trunk

Note that lots of things can also go wrong, like NIC driver not
supporting vlan+bridge. You'd be better off with recent OS/kernel
where many bugs have been fixed. Plus you're no longer limited to
3-NIC on domU.
