I have same issue. I ue xcp-xapi with openvswitch. Had to disconnect all connected interfaces to start my machine.
I've the following lines at the top of my /etc/init.d/openvswitch as a workaround (seems to help):
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 up # (Debian BUG#677475) /sbin/ifconfig eth1 up # (Debian BUG#677475) sleep 1 # (Debian BUG#677475) Regards! -- Paweł Tomulik, tel. +48 22 234 7374 Instytut Techniki Lotniczej i Mechaniki Stosowanej Politechnika Warszawska -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
