I use Gentoo and don't have to 'ln -s' my vif's to net.lo, and on all my
machines i don't get something behind the device name.

What is your configuration for eth0?

I haven't recognized that you use Kernel 2.6.16.26, which i also tried but with
no success.

Could you try Kernel 2.6.16.16 ? This works for me.

I haven't figured out why i can't get run my xen config with 2.6.16.26 but with
2.6.16.16. Same kernel configs, same xen configs, only another kernel and
*bummm*, non working dom0 and non working domU's.
