That certainly helped, using the following config enables
me to boot but not pass traffic:

bridge.eth0.port=eth0 
bridge.eth0.port=peth0
bridge.eth0.port=vif1.0

Subject: Re: [ovs-discuss] can't add peth0 to bridge eth0: Invalid argument 

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.
