you should disable NetworkManager with Xen or bad things will happen.
NetworkMangler is only installed with Gnome right? I did a minimal install without Gnome.
I would just create an ifcfg with no IP address and that should work.
Ok, I will try that if I cant get the pass through to work.
There's no need for a custom kernel, all the CentOS Xen kernels include pciback and pcifront support, and most other distros pre-compiled Xen kernels do too.
Well, I assumed it wasn't as dmesg says unknown kernel option passed when I stick the line into grub.conf? The syntax was righty out of xen doc's and similar to all I found when searching the net. I also tried unpacking the srpm and looking at it to see if I could spot anything which might lead me to believe it was turned on by default but I couldn't figure out where to look, you're sure the srpm has this option on?
Thanks again so much for all the help! jlc
