Description of problem: With the xen-3.1.2-5.fc8 update, networking on the host is shutdown when xend starts. It looks like I end up with a peth0 interface with no IP and a tmpbridge (or similar) with the original IP of the host.

Okay, scratch the update part. Looks like the culprit may have been a failed attempt to install a F10 guest at the same time as I did the update. Reverting to 3.1.2-2 did not help. I also tried to remove the config for the newer F10 guest but that didn't help. Now I'm left with a F9 x86_64 guest that had been working for a while but now seems to crash the networking when brought up. I'll attach the config.

Orion: if you think the update didn't cause this, could you kill the -1 karma in bodhi Your networking issue is strange. This: device eth0 already exists; can't create bridge with the same name suggests that when this: create_bridge ${tdev} is called, that tdev=eth0; but clearly from your ifconfig output, tdev=tmpbridge dunno, try add "set -x" to network-bridge and looking at the output in xend-debug.log
After cleaning up some problems it seems to be working now. I'll try to drop the -1 karma when bodhi is back up.
