The default is "vif-bridge". Have you changed the default?

If not then your configuration as shown will put three interfaces on the
*same* bridge. Is this really what you want?

You claim above that the bridge is different for each interface, but
unless you have changed something somewhere then this is not the case.
Since you are having problems it is important to identify everything
which you have changed from the defaults.

Like I said "that list can be quite long so it is useless
without a serial console": http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_Serial_Console

Depending on your distro you might also find this info in the logs
under /var/log somewhere.

So the output is silent from boot until this message comes up? That
seems unlikely, since there should be plenty of messages from the
shutdown process itself if nothing else.

What is the last message one the screen before this one? In fact what is
the entire last screenfull of output?

Did you add debugging to the hotplug scripts like I suggested a couple
of mails back?

If you run the xendomains script by hand and then *immediately* after it
exits run "xl list" have the domains actually gone? You could even stick
some calls to xl list into the script itself and verify that the domains
are indeed shutting down as expected.

BTW Are you using xl or xend?
