So Xen 4.0 can work with Centos kernel-xen now? Good to know. It
didn't work the last time I tried.

I'd start by troubleshooting the problems one by one.
First of all, the switch side. You MIGHT need spanning-tree portfast there.

Second, bonding mode. You might want to try with simpler modes first
(0,1, or 2), and then simulate links failure (possibly by disabling
the port on switch side) to make sure that at least the basic failover
stuff and switch config is working properly.

If all fails, you might need to actually do 802.3ad.
