I’ve tried to work with old package and force replacement as follows :-
root at boris-desktop:/var/cache/prevu/hardy-debs# dpkg -i –force-all xen-utils-3.3_3.3.0-1ubuntu7~hardy1~8.04prevu1_amd64.deb
dpkg: regarding xen-utils-3.3_3.3.0-1ubuntu7~hardy1~8.04prevu1_amd64.deb containing xen-utils-3.3:

xen-utils-3.2 provides xen-utils and is installed.
dpkg: warning - ignoring conflict, may proceed anyway !

The result appears to be the same. HVM DomUs during install seems not to have virtual network device
at all , it looks like front end network driver at DomU is broken. Solaris 10 10/08, Intrepid Server have been tested.PV DomUs behave absolutely normal during install and runtime. Intrepid Server PV DomU , utilizing image device created by mentioned HVM install and Solaris Nevada build 101 installed in DHCP mode. Notice , that Intrepid Server PV DomU may be also loaded in DHCP mode ( vif=['bridge=eth0'] ) with no problems.
