I would appreciate any help someone might be able to provide on my issue. I did try the following based on reading some forum posts and bug reports:
However, I still get errors similar to the below with the above command activated. It doesn't appear to have made any difference.

Hello,
I have been using Xen on a Debian Lenny server for quite some time. I decided to build a new Dom0 using identical hardware, but newest version of Xen from repositories with Debian Squeeze.
I attempting to create a new DomU on the new host which is similar to an existing DomU running on the older Lenny host. The DomU is a three NIC firewall. Two of the NICs are virtualized. One NIC is a physical NIC which is hidden from the Dom0 in GRUB and then passed to the DomU. As I mentioned, this worked fine with the older Lenny Dom0.
Once I figured out how to hide the NIC on the new host with GRUB2, I am having problems using the NIC in the new DomU. The device is present, but I am getting a lot of errors.
Below is the snippet from the Domu.cfg file where the NIC is passed:
#
# Devices delegated from Dom0
#
pci = [ '0000:02:0c.0' ]
As I mentioned, the device is seized and apparently passed to the DomU. A new udev rule was added with the physical NIC MAC address. Additionally, I was able to configure the NIC through /etc/network/interfaces.
Any attempt to use the NIC (eth2), such as a ping command, results in the following errors:
