You haven't searched archives very hard :). Format of ip=... can be found in net/ipv4/ipconfig.c: /* * Decode any IP configuration options in the "ip=" or "nfsaddrs=" kernel * command line parameter. It consists of option fields separated by colons in * the following order: * * <client-ip>:<server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>:<host name>:<device>:<PROTO> * * Any of the fields can be empty which means to use a default value: * <client-ip> - address given by BOOTP or RARP * <server-ip> - address of host returning BOOTP or RARP packet * <gw-ip> - none, or the address returned by BOOTP * <netmask> - automatically determined from <client-ip>, or the * one returned by BOOTP * <host name> - <client-ip> in ASCII notation, or the name returned * by BOOTP * <device> - use all available devices * <PROTO>: * off|none - don't do autoconfig at all (DEFAULT) * on|any - use any configured protocol * dhcp|bootp|rarp - use only the specified protocol * both - use both BOOTP and RARP (not DHCP) */ BTW, looks like your ip=.. line is incorrect, you missed <device> parameter. -- Eugene
