Forwarding to devel list.
(changed the wordings bit)

The xmexample1 seems to contain

hostname= "vm%d" % vmid

Does this work with HVM ? I tried setting hostname=foo for my HVM based FC5 Linux domU. It does not seem to work.

Also, is there a way to set IP address for a Linux HVM DomU ?
I have seen somewhere (not in xen example)
  vif = [ 'ip=192.168.1.12' ]

How do both these work ? (if they are supposed to work )
Are some scripts run after DomU is instantiated ? OR are passed as kernel params ?

Thanks

ps. anyone using these params, can u please send me output of

from DomU

does
vif = [ 'ip=192.168.0.12' ]

also end up in kernel parameter similar to

ip = '192.168.0.12'

?

Thanks

Yep, I'd like to see these disappear when we move to the new config file
format.

Should we wish to provide convenience functions for the linux kernel
command line ip pnp config they should be called cmdline_linux_ip_addr
etc.
