Hi,

I guess manuel will be able to find a solution to your problem ( better 
than me ) but I remember that I had some problems using such mac address 
which is no more valid for xen network devices ... ( it works with xen 2 
but no longer with xen 3 )

The MAC Address must start with :

00:16:3e

Use what you want for the end ...
The best way is to let the system chose the mac address for you ( use 
vif = [ '' ] for the first boot ), note the mac address and put it in 
your config file ...

I know this is not the solution to your problem, but this can disturb 
you in futur with network configuration.

Best Regards

Arnaud.
