I used to set up bridge manually on Ubuntu Servers ( > 8.10)

Comment out all xen-bridge declarations in /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
and manually edit /etc/network/interfaces as follows

root@IntrepidSRV:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
# Bridge definied
auto xenbr0
iface xenbr0 inet static
address 192.168.1.45
network 192.168.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge_ports eth1
bridge_fd 9
bridge_hello 2
bridge_maxage 12
bridge_stp off

Yes, I set up a bridge manually.

config_eth0=( "null" )

bridge_xenbr0="eth0"

brctl_xenbr0=(
"setfd 0"
"stp off"
)

config_xenbr0=(
   "dhcp"
)

I can tell you something more: if I let the machine (for example
debian lenny) continue the
boot process after the "Senting DHCP request ...", after few minutes,
it goes ahead and
I get the login prompt. Futhermore, after the login i type:
dhclient eth0
and all perfectly works. eth0 gets an IP address and can ping the host
system as well.

A strange fact happens: if I try to boot a gentoo domU, it never goes
ahead and the
login prompt never come, but let's solve the problem on debian lenny as domU.

Thanks,

F.
