Are you using network-bridge in your xend-config? If so, that is why.
network-bridge will enslave the interface, therefore eth0:x will not
work.

If you need to do this, you will have to let Ubuntu, not network-bridge
handle your bridging on startup.

Below is a copy of my /etc/network/interfaces (note, I'm on a LAN):

auto br0
        iface br0 inet static
        address 10.92.1.101
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        gateway 10.92.1.1
        bridge_maxwait 0
        bridge_helo 0
        bridge_fd 0
        bridge_stp off
        bridge_ports eth0


auto br0:1
        iface br0:1 inet static
        address 10.92.1.191
        netmask 255.255.255.0

You will also need to stop network-bridge from running. To do that,
create a simple file like this in /etc/xen/scripts (for instance,
network-dummy) and make it executable:

#!/bin/sh
exit 0

Then edit /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp and replace this line:

(network-script network-bridge)

so that it says:

(network-script network-dummy)

stop/start networking and xend (or just reboot) and you should be good
to go.

Hope this helps
