opensuse11 xen-domU network troubles

dear volks,

i just updated a properly working xen-domU from OpenSuse10.3 to OpenSuse11. everything worked out fine, except that the domU is not able to bring its networkinterfaces up again (not eth0 and not even the loopback-device). first i thought, that there is a problem with the devices handed over by the dom0, but it is not: if i configure the devices eth0 and lo by manually(ifconfig eth0 …) they work properly. but if i try to configure them with yast they do not. (further the problem seems to have nothing to do with the disabled force_persistent_names feature, because dom0 hands over a fixed mac-address)

best regards, thanks,
mnu

in /etc/sysconfig/network/ there is a config for eth0 as well as a config for lo, both with fixed addresses (i can post em if really needed).

i would be pleased if anyone could give me some advise, or even any idea about the folowing output of ‘rcnetwork restart’ :
