[Xen-users] Re: Fw: Xend start and after lose network

Mr. Domicile,

I was reading your error and believe I just hit exactly the same condition with 
FC5.  The problem that I had turned out to be the MAC address of the ethernet 
adapter.  In your post, it showed a HWADDR of FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.  You should see 
a real MAC address here.
What was happening on my server was that "sometimes" the system would not read 
the HW address from the ethernet card.  By adding a hard-coded 
MACADDR=nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn line in 'icfg-eth0', I found I could force a real 
address and thus work around this issue.
In my case, I think the issue is somewhat flaky hardware.

Hopefully this will help you as well.

ps:  I am "off-list" but the archives are still quite useful.
