I am trying to set some networking options via the kernel command line -- I have recompiled the kernel to support IP_PNP (IP: kernel level autoconfiguration) but I dont even think I have gotten to the need of that part, xm create doesn't even seem to pass the arguements to the kernel: xen 3.0.2 source compile FC5 conf: kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen" memory=128 name="fedora.fc4" vif = [ 'ip=192.168.1.61, mac=00:16:3E:3E:30:C8' ] disk=['file:/xen/fc4/image,sda1,w', 'file:/xen/fc4/swap,sda2,w'] #dhcp = "dhcp" <-- tried as commented out and "off" netmask="255.255.255.0" gateway="192.168.1.1" hostname="ds-1" root="/dev/sda1 ro" # xm create -n conf Using config file "conf".
