To get rid of the xenbr1 manually, you should be able to do:
brctl delif <any interface that is on that bridge>
then, when no more interfaces do:
ifconfig xenbr1 down
brctl delbr xenbr1
Do you get any warning or error to stdout or to the /var/log/xen/* log
files when starting/restarting xend?
Have you tried to start the network-bridge script on the command line
manually with:
/etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge start
It is also not clear to me anymore what works and what doesn't. Could
you clarify that again?
Thanks,
Todd
