I haven't used SuSE, but as a guess, perhaps SuSE is confused by the
fact that xend assigns a different random MAC address to the virtual
network card on each boot? There might scripts that check the MAC
address of the card on boot, and if it hasn't been seen before, assign
it a new network interface name (eth22, eth23, etc.)
If this is the case, then you should be able to fix the problem either
by disabling this feature in your SuSE network configuration (I can't
provide any specific help here, unfortunately), or assigning a static
MAC address in the xend configuration file.
