Hi!
Sorry that I haven't been responsive; naturally this happens the
weekend I'm in Cannes ;-)
All but one VM is now up (pima) and the ISP continues to investigate;
appended is their description of their fault finding efforts so far.

Thanks. For now I reset the root password to xxxx
I can access the server via the console.
I am not able to ping out.
ethtool eth0 reports link.
administratively shutting down the port on the switch and it shows no
link (then I re-enabled the port).
I see no relevant error messages in /var/log/messages.
The route table looks OK.
I stopped/flushed iptables .
I tried the older xen kernel. Then I tried a recent non-xen kernel
from the grub list.
I'm not really sure what the problem is.
I'm attaching another network cable to the server's other nic and
seeing if I can configure that to work.
After that extra cable was plugged in, and for no other reason I can
think of, and after no other change was made that I can think of,
dmesg reported that eth0 became ready and the IP is now pinging.
I reported the server into the latest/newest Xen kernel. And it still
pings/works there.
It is late/early here. I'll leave things as they are now. And
reflect on this a bit to see if I can figure out what happened. But
as things stand now it should all be back up and working for you.
