There's a patch for network-bridge that was needed on xen-tools-3.4 but it's also been applied to xen-tools-4.0.0 and breaks networking. The patch: get_ip_info() { - addr_pfx=`ip addr show dev $1 | egrep '^ *inet' | sed -e 's/ *inet //' -e 's/ .*//'` + addr_pfx=`ip addr show dev $1 | egrep '^ *inet' | sed -e 's/ *inet //' -e "s/$1//"` gateway=`ip route show dev $1 | fgrep default | sed 's/default via //'` } The output of those the old/new commands: xen3 scripts # ip addr show dev eth0 | egrep '^ *inet' | sed -e 's/ *inet //' -e 's/eth0//' 204.187.12.209/24 brd 204.187.12.255 scope global inet6 fe80::230:48ff:fef1:6484/64 scope link xen3 ~ # ip addr show dev eth0 | egrep '^ *inet ' | sed -e 's/ *inet //' -e "s/ .*//" 204.187.12.209/24 If you throw a -x onto /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge, you can see the command that causes the problem: + ip addr add 204.187.12.208/24 brd 204.187.12.255 scope global inet6 fe80::230:48ff:fef1:5cd6/64 scope link dev eth0 Error: either "local" is duplicate, or "inet6" is a garbage. Reverting the patch on that file fixed things. Reproducible: Always
Also, this was the original ticket that caused the patch: 258378 Not sure why suddenly it's not required anymore in xen 4 since the related code looks the same, but it works for me now.

This issue is about a patch that needs to be REMOVED, not added. The patch already exists in portage. (In reply to comment #2) > Please paste the actual upstream url and not the ticket number and upload your > patch as attachment here instead of a comment > > Thanks >
Xen 4.1 in tree. Please test with it and reopen if it doesnt work
