Xen users - Dec 2005 - Problem: IP-Config: Unable to set interface netmask (-22)

Hi all,
I tried to boot up a VM using two options (a) reading boot information from a
config file (b) adding
boot information directly to the command line. However, I got "IP-Config:
Unable to set interface
netmask (-22)" problem when using option (b). For (a), I don''t
have such problem. The boot
information for both (a) and (b) is same.
Could you please let me know what I am missing for (b) or is it a bug?
BTW, my Xen version is 2.0-testing.
Thanks
Xuehai
