I get this error when I do try to create a domU guest (xen 3.0.0, 2.6.12.6).
The vif is set to 
vif = [ ' mac=aa:00:00:00:11, bridge=xenbr0' ]
 and a "brctl show" shows (brctl is in /usr/local/sbin)
xenbr0    8000,fefffffff  interfaces vif0.0 peth0

Xend.log shows:
 ERROR (SrvBase:87) Request wait_for_devices failed.  Traceback (most recent 
call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python/xen/web/SrvBase.py", line 85, in perform
