[Fedora-xen] domU disregard static IP information at boot time

[Costa Kavanides]

Further searching led me to find this thread

http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2007-01/msg01110.html

where the same issue is discussed amongst others.

I disabled kudzu (chkconfig kudzu off) and now my
network interface static information are properly used
at boot time.
