Have you compiled it from source?
Silly question ;-)
You have to, if you build xen from source.

Cheers,

    If you're running a Dell PowerEdge you have a Broadcom ethernet
    Adapter, right?
    Are you using the bnx2 module?

    I had the same issues using debian.
    There is a bug in this driver, that freezes the driver when used
    with xen.
    The newest version which you can download from broadcom fixes this.

    What version of bnx2 do you have?

    Might this perhaps be your problem?

        Unfortunately, the eth0 starts to fail sometimes when xend is
        started (better than the previous NIC driver, with previous
        one, eth0 fails even without starting xend, and I can not see
        xenbr0). Right now, there are xenbr0 and xenbr1 in ifconfig -a.

        I am trying to disable the management firmware in the NIC now...
