Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

command line kernel parameters: msg#00044

Subject: command line kernel parameters
I am trying to set some networking options via the kernel command line --
I have recompiled the kernel to support IP_PNP (IP: kernel level
autoconfiguration)
but I dont even think I have gotten to the need of that part, xm
create doesn't even seem to pass the arguements to the kernel:

xen 3.0.2 source compile
FC5

conf:
kernel="/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen"
memory=128
name="fedora.fc4"
vif = [ 'ip=192.168.1.61, mac=00:16:3E:3E:30:C8' ]
disk=['file:/xen/fc4/image,sda1,w', 'file:/xen/fc4/swap,sda2,w']
#dhcp = "dhcp"   <-- tried as commented out and "off"
netmask="255.255.255.0"
gateway="192.168.1.1"
hostname="ds-1"
root="/dev/sda1 ro"

# xm create -n conf
Using config file "conf".
(vm
   (name fedora.fc4)
   (memory 128)
   (vcpus 1)
   (image (linux (kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen) (root '/dev/sda1 ro')))
   (device (vbd (uname file:/xen/fc4/image) (dev sda1) (mode w)))
   (device (vbd (uname file:/xen/fc4/swap) (dev sda2) (mode w)))
   (device (vif (ip 192.168.1.61) (mac 00:16:3E:3E:30:C8)))
)

from the console:
# dmesg | grep command
Kernel command line:  root=/dev/sda1 ro

so - it seems the command line isnt being passed what aI *think* it
should be passed - any ideas??
