Pkg xen devel - Sep 2006 - Bug#388352: xen-hypervisor-3.0-unstable-1-amd64: veth0 is missing

Package: xen-hypervisor-3.0-unstable-1-amd64
Version: 3.0-unstable+hg11292-2
Severity: important

My server is a dell 2950 server. 

Before the dom0 rebooting bug ocurred, xen was well even for hvm domU. 
By now i have tried xen-hypervisor-3.0-amd64 (3.0.2+hg9697-2) and
xen-hypervisor-3.0-unstable-1-amd64 (3.0-unstable+hg11292-2), 
but both of them are unusable for me.

for xen-hypervisor-3.0-amd64:
The vnc server won't start and the hvm domU won't boot and blocks in 
'b' state. The domU with modified kernel boots ok.
When I run xm, there is a warning which says there is no
xen utils with version 3.0.2-3-1 installed, and falling back to
xen-default.

for xen-hypervisor-3.0-unstable-1-amd64:
If I choose the linux-image-2.6.16-2-xen-em64t-p4 as the dom0 kernel,
the rebooting bug appears.

If I choose the linux-image-2.6.17-2-amd64 as the dom0 kernel, I can
enter the box. But when I run /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge start, it 
told me that:

Link veth0 is missing.
This may be because you have reached the limit of the number of
interfaces
that the loopback driver supports.  If the loopback driver is a module,
you
may raise this limit by passing it as a parameter (nloopbacks=<N>); if
the
driver is compiled statically into the kernel, then you may set the
parameter
using loopback.nloopbacks=<N> on the domain 0 kernel command line.

The following is FYI

I think it's not a nlookbacks problem, because everything is the default
installation. And before installing xen unstable, I purged the installed
xen-hyphervisor-3.0-amd64 packages.
