[Xen-API] Unable to start a domain with nfsroot (no ip conf passed)

[Saurabh Garg <saurabh.g.garg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to create a domU, which has its root file system on the 
nfsserver. I put the pvArgs fieds as follows:
ip=DHCP nfsroot=<NFS_SERVER_IP>:/vm

where NFS_SERVER_IP is the address of my nfs server, with the roor 
partition available at /vm location.
While starting this machine however, I get the following

IP-Config: Guessing netmask 255.255.255.0
IP-Config: Complete:
    device=eth0, addr=220.0.0.0, mask=255.255.255.0, gw=255.255.255.255,
    host=220.0.0.0, domain=, nis-domain=(none),
    bootserver=255.255.255.255, rootserver=<NFS_SERVER_IP>, rootpath=


And the nfs server can not be connected after this, following which the 
vm start fails.
However, if I specify the ip string completely, as 
<client-ip>:<server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>:<hostname>:eth0:off, I'm able 
to get my domain up. The kernel is patched for nfsroot support.
I guess I'm, missing out some configuration, that will enable all the ip 
parameters to be auto-configured. Can some one please provide some 
insight into what the exact ip string should look like in this case.
Thanks,
Saurabh.
