Thanx for all the help guys, but I think this Debian installation is
corrupt and I need to go back to CentOS + XEN 3 instead.


After a few reboots, trying to get the bridge working, I can't even
see the VM's running.

xm list simply "hangs"

And I can't unindstall libvirt-bin (which I probably installed by
mistake) since apt-get and aptitude both gives me sementation faults:


newusaxen:/var/cache/apt# apt-get remove libvirt-bin
Segmentation faultsts... 0%
newusaxen:/var/cache/apt# aptitude remove libvirt-bin
[  0%] Reading package listsSegmentation fault
newusaxen:/var/cache/apt#
