I''m setting the ip/netmask/gateway in the domu.cfg, when my domU boots i see this on the kernel line ip=204.15.135.69:1.2.3.4:204.15.135.67:255.255.255.248::eth0:dhcp where is this 1.2.3.4 address from? why is dhcp set at the end? ~Shaun _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

The autoconf parameter is something that can be set by the kernel too, that would mean to use BOOTP/DHCP and maybe RARP. Skip the dhcp on the end if you want to set something statically.

It says the syntax is as follows: ip=<client-ip>:<server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>:<hostname>:<device>:<autoconf> Hope this helps you?
