Well, I don't know exactly what's happen but now I've configured only my
eth0 on boot time, and put this on my rc.local:

======================================================
ip link set peth0 down
ip link set peth0 mac fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
ip link set peth0 up

ip link set xenbr0 down
ip link set xenbr0 mac fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
ip link set xenbr0 up

ip link set eth0 down
ip link set eth0 mac fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff arp off
ip link set eth0 up
======================================================

Now, after boot my machine don't crash any more, but the bridge stay
without IP/MAC:

xenbr0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF  
          inet6 addr: fe80::fcff:ffff:feff:ffff/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
          RX bytes:14472 (14.1 KiB)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

[root at xen ~]# brctl show
bridge name     bridge id               STP enabled     interfaces
xenbr0          8000.feffffffffff       no              peth0
                                                        vif0.0

I don't know if this was correct, but anyway it's all working again!

Many thanks!
