I have a strange problem on one machine where eth0 gets killed when I add a virtual interface. It's got something to do with the NIC ordering or with the xen network script having a problem with multiple NICs and virtual interfaces. I could need some help/comments on this.
Some history: I added a NIC (chip identifies as Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet) to a Dell R200 server. CentOS 5.3 with Xen 3.3.1 (gitco repo).

This is a known issue with all Poweredge Servers. It will give you an explanation and workaround for it.
