dhcpd.conf looks reasonable, at least to me:

------
ddns-update-style interim;

allow booting;
allow bootp;

ignore client-updates;
set vendorclass = option vendor-class-identifier;

subnet 172.16.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
      option routers          172.16.0.1;
      option subnet-mask      255.255.255.0;
#     range dynamic-bootp     172.16.0.101 172.16.0.110;
      filename                "/pxelinux.0";
      default-lease-time      21600;
      max-lease-time          43200;
      next-server             bread;
}


host label1 {
     hardware ethernet BF:CC:AC:10:00:65;
     fixed-address 172.16.0.101;
     next-server bread;
}

The two changes I've made to cobbler/settings are manage_dhcp and  
yum_core_mirror_from_server.

Is there something I'm supposed to be doing to the stock xen  
configuration to enable networking for cobbler?
   I ask because even specifying an IP manually to anaconda didn't  
get me anywhere.  I also don't see something that looks like a  
network device in the kernel messages of the domU, though I admit to  
not knowing what to look for, or if it ought to be there under Xen.

Thanks,
-Bill
