that's where the problem lies.

using in my xen cfg,

extra        = 'textmode=0 xencons=xvc0 elevator=noop lang=en_US.UTF-8
keyboard=us timezone=America/Los_Angeles ip=192.168.1.106
netmask=255.255.255.0 gateway=192.168.1.1 dns=192.168.1.1 noipv6'

i get to VNC console, and can select device = "eth0", method =
"http:", and enter host/dir distro info.  the installer then starts
downloading ... removing 'bootproto=static' seems to do the trick;
specifying "ip=x.b.c.d", rhater than "ip=dhcp" is sufficient.

when i add any of

 device=eth0
 url=http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.5/os/x86_64/
 method=http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.5/os/x86_64

however, they're simply ignored; the installer just ignores them,
re-asking me for those inputs @ console.

apparently, those are not the correct variables/formats.

what are the correct entries for device, method, & source url -- NOT
using a kickstart file -- on the xen config's "extra=" line for
Centos?

thanks.
