Xen devel - Feb 2009 - Unable to assign DomU ip-address from config file or disable dhcp

Hi,
im using a fedoraCore 8 domU and fedoraCore 8 as my dom0 on xen3.1.0-13.

i want to manually assign an ip to the domUs,and i tried using the
"ip="
parameter in the config file.

my config file reads:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.21-2950.fc8xen"
ramdisk="/boot/initrd-2.6.21-2950.fc8xen-no-scsi.img"
memory = 428
name = "fedora1.fc8"
vif = [ ''mac=00:16:3e:00:00:03,ip=192.168.2.105'' ]
dhcp = "off"
netmask = "255.255.255.0"
gateway = "192.168.2.102"
disk = [''file:/xen/fedora1/fedora.fc8.img,sda1,w'',
''file:/xen/fedora1/fedora.swap,sda2,w'']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
vfb = [ ''type=vnc ,vncdisplay=12'' ]

but the domU does not get the ip, it gets a xen- assigned dhcp ip-address.

ive tried :
extra = "eth0 =192.168.2.105,255.255.255.0"
in the config file and that does not seem to improve the situation either.
Is there any work-around so i can assign domU ip from the config file?
