CentOS - May 2012 - KVM with 6.2 i686 guest

I just installed a KVM guest, centos 6.2 i686 (6.2 x86_64 host) and the 
network module is loaded .
The modules is/are 8139too,8139cp is what lsmod shows. Dmesg shows link 
up but ifconfig does not give me an address?
service network restart shows OK no errors but again no address.

I set the ifcfg-eth0 file to not be NM controlled, onboot yes and 
rebooted. Same no address.

I run 5.8 images all the time and they get the address?

Did I forget something?

Jerry,

I believe that by default the network is down and the "BOOTPROTO=dhcp"
is
not in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethx. I encountered a
similar issue on a KVM guest with minimal install

Was there something else missing also?
I not added the BOOTPROTO="DHCP" and same issue happening.
dmesg shows link up, service network restart shows OK and ifconfig
shows no address.
