Hello!

My Dom0 has the ip address 10.1.121.201/24 and is not connected to the
network, because I do not want to be able to reach DHCP server as I
will not have one in the production network.
When I try to install a guest with kickstart, it tries to reach a DHCP
server. Off course the dhcp timed out. I set the ip address
10.1.121.210/24 manually and I can see these messages in the console:

DHCPv4 eth0 - TIMED OUT
ethe0 is not a wireless adapter
file location:fpt://10.1.121.201/guest.cfg
trasnferring fpt://10.1.121.201/guest.cfg to a fd
setting up kickstart
results of url ks, url ftp:/10.1.121.201//
setting language to en_US.UTF-8
need to set up networking
going to pick interface
going to do getNetConfig
dnsservers is 10.1.3.1
ethe0 is not a wireless adapter

It starts DHCPDISCOVER again. I can ping the muanually configured IP.

Kickstart is configured to setup an static ip address to the guest,
10.1.121.202/24.

network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip 10.1.121.202 --netmask
255.255.255.0 --gateway 10.1.121.254 --nameserver 10.1.3.1

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.
