Re: [Xen-users] Manually setting IP address in domain config file

[James Bulpin <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Use of the ip= kernel argument (used by the ipaddr xend config variable)
requires the kernel to be built with CONFIG_IP_PNP set. I note that
earlier FC4 xenU kernels do not have this. Please can you check the
version you have:

  grep CONFIG_IP_PNP /boot/config-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4xenU
