Indeed, it was fine since Xen 3.0.3. Solution was to remove acpi=off
from the grub line. We used this options to enable more than 4 Go of
RAM on other hardware.
Now, with Xen 3.2.0 (really a last checkout from mercurial, Xen 3.2.1
rc1 , just a few hours before the official announce on xen-devel
list), Xen starts on HP DL-380 G3 dual Xeon 2.8 GHz and 6 Gb RAM. dom0
and domU OK.
I had to change this on the domU configuration :
cpu is now vcpu
andd xencons=tty in the append line , console=tty on kernel and module
line from the grub.conf are not sufficient now.

Then,I made some brindging tests :
- NATIVE :  bridging eth0 <-> xenbr0 OK with network-bridge
- MULTIPLE NATIVE bridges in bridge.conf, KO with network-bridge. OK
with our bridge-wrapper, if we do not specified vif number from the
command line argument passed to network-bridge.
- VLAN : eth0.vlan bridged to xenbr.vlanid OK (need ONBOOT=yes for the
ifcfg-bond0.vlanid first or Xen doesn't initiate vconfig)
- BONDING : bond0 bonding on eth0+eth1 , bridged on xenbr0 : OK
- BONDING+VLAN : bond0.vlanid (over eth0+eth1) bridged on xenbr.vlanid
: KO => Kernel Panic.

My interface bond0.vlanid is up and running, but when Xend start, I
systematically failed with a kernel panic.

Here is some of my call trace :

cannot create /proc/net/bonding/<NULL>
BUG : unable to handle NULL pointer dereference
OOOPS : 0000 #1
EIP : 0061
EIP is at sysfs_remove_group

Hum .....    :-(
