[-- Attachment #1.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 18062 bytes --]

Hello,

Thanks for the suggestion, xen/stable works ok for me. Only problem is
that I have to disable offload do get dhcp to work on domU, but the
problem I described before doesn't exist in this kernel. Later today I'm
going to try a previous build I have based on stable-2.6.32.x
(2.6.32.13) to check if it already had this problem or not and I'll post
the results.
