Is this from the domU or the dom0?
Do other devices work ok?

2.6.38 didn't have netback, only 2.6.39-rc1 did. Mario, please can you
supply the .config you used with the 2.6.39 kernel and the exact commit
id you are using. It would also be useful to see a complete log from
both dom0 and domU.
Do the vif entries appear in XenStore? Using:
xenstore-ls /local/domain/$(xl domid <name>)/devices/vif
you should see some entries and those entries should reference a backend
path which should also contains entries, please post both.
Ian.
