I'm not sure.
Even when I add this line, I don't see anything in the console.

Moreover - even if I wait a bit, I can't ping that host.

Also, with 2.6.18 domU kernel, without a valid initrd/ramdisk, the guest 
would just do a kernel panic, and the domain would be automatically 
destroyed.
With 2.6.23 domU, I don't see anything like this.
