Indeed. For all I love Xen, and despite what Novell seem to believe,
it *really* isn't ready for prime time use yet, for this very reason
(and others, FWIW). It's fine when it works. But when it doesn't,
you're on your own, due to the almost total absence of documentation.

Exactly.

3 cards, eth0 is the primary (it's an e100 -- the other two are tg3).
Yes, I'm using bridged networking, with the xend-config.sxp being
identical to the one on my other working Xen machine (which has the
same 3 cards, in the same order).
