Tought I told it in my previou smails. Sorry to missed it:

On my dom0:
$ cat /proc/cmdline
placeholder root=/dev/mapper/system-root ro console=hvc0 earlyprintk=xen
nomodeset xen-pciback.permissive xen-pciback.hide=(04:00.0)
pci=resource_alignment=04:00.0 quiet

Xen hypervisor options are:
# xm dmesg
(XEN) Xen version 4.0.1 (Debian 4.0.1-1) (waldi@xxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version
4.4.5 20100824 (prerelease) (Debian 4.4.4-11) ) Fri Sep  3 15:38:12 UTC 2010
(XEN) Bootloader: GRUB 1.98+20100804-11
(XEN) Command line: placeholder dom0_mem=256M dom0_max_vcpus=1
dom0_vcpus_pin loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all com1=115200,8n1 console=com1

OpenWRT domU config file is:
$ cat /etc/xen/auto/openwrt.cfg

kernel       = '/home/domU/wrt/openwrt-x86-xen_domu-vmlinuz'
root         = '/dev/xvda2 rw'

cpus         = '1'
localtime    = 0

disk = ['file:/home/domU/wrt/openwrt-x86-xen_domu-combined-ext4.img,xvda,w']

#vif = [ 'bridge=br-wan, mac=00:16:3E:01:00:64, vifname=wrt-100.eth1' ]

pci = [ '04:00.0' ]

hostname     = 'openwrt.clichy.jbfavre.org'

I can see echo requests coming in on my gateway, replies going back but
replies are never received on the domU.
