Earlier versions of Xen networking (which apparently the Lenny port is based on) used some "interesting" tricks with renaming. In this case eth0 is renamed to peth0 and a bridge named tmpbridge is created then renamed to eth0.
I'm fairly certain that our bridge compatibility layer does not deal well with all of this renaming. However, you should be able to configure this manually after the machine has booted. For example add the following to your /etc/ovs-vswitchd.conf file and reload vswitchd: bridge.eth1.port=eth1 bridge.eth1.port=peth1 You should then be able to assign an IP to eth1.
