 I would guess it's OK now ;)

 Run tcpdump on any other box on the LAN different from Dom0 hosting.
 DHCPDISCOVER is a broadcast request, so you should be able to capture
 wrong UDP checksums. Otherwise it's gonna be a miracle.

Hello, 
Thanks for the suggestion, xen/stable works ok for me. Only problem is that I have to disable offload do get dhcp to work on domU, but the problem I described before doesn't exist in this kernel. Later today I'm going to try a previous build I have based on stable-2.6.32.x (2.6.32.13) to check if it already had this problem or not and I'll post the results.

 Yes, ARP is a new twist on network problems.  I'm guessing you're using
 hvm without stubdoms, which means that its networking originates from
 qemu within dom0, whereas PV and HVM+stubdom comes via netback.
 
 
 
But aside from that, I'm stumped.  Are you running any firewalls oneither side?   Can you try disabling all the offloads (tx, rx, gso, tso)
 on all the relevent interfaces (bridge, netback, within the guest) and
 see if that changes anything?
 
 J
 
 
 Ok, this is the bridge interface:
 
 
 brctl showbridge name	bridge id		STP enabled	interfaces
 virbr0		8000.feffffffffff	no		vif1.0
 
 ifconfig virbr0

 I'm not using firewall other than the rules defined by libvirt. DomU has no firewall and the rules in dom0 are only these (virbr0 is natted to the outside, virbr1 is routed. The result is the same in either one of them):

 And these are the various offload parameters as set at boot:
 
 
 Offload parameters for virbr0:rx-checksumming: on
 tx-checksumming: on
 scatter-gather: on
 tcp-segmentation-offload: on
 udp-fragmentation-offload: on
 generic-segmentation-offload: on
 generic-receive-offload: off
 large-receive-offload: off
 
 Offload parameters for vif1.0:
 rx-checksumming: on
 tx-checksumming: on
 scatter-gather: on
 tcp-segmentation-offload: on
 udp-fragmentation-offload: off
 generic-segmentation-offload: on
 generic-receive-offload: off
 large-receive-offload: off
 
 Offload parameters for eth0:
 rx-checksumming: on
 tx-checksumming: on
 scatter-gather: on
 tcp-segmentation-offload: on
 udp-fragmentation-offload: off
 generic-segmentation-offload: off
 generic-receive-offload: off
 large-receive-offload: off
 
 To disable all checksuming I run the following commands:
 dom0:
 sudo ethtool -K virbr0 tx off sg off tso off gso off gro offdomUsudo ethtool -K vif1.0 tx off sg off tso off gso off gro off
 
 sudo ethtool -K eth0 tx off sg off tso off gso off gro off
 This managed to get all parameter to off in the mentioned interfaces, but unfortunately the result is the same. The arp requests get to vif1.0, but not to eth0 on the domU.
 
 
 sudo tcpdump -i vif1.0 -n -vv arptcpdump: WARNING: vif1.0: no IPv4 address assigned

 I hope this information is enough. If I can provide anything else to help debug or test, please just ask! ;)
 
 Thanks in advance,
