Hi All, 

        I am very new to xen-tools, so excuse me for my queries.
I installed xen-tools. And here are the following 2 steps I did.

1. xen-create-image  --force --hostname=xentool_vm --ip=172.25.148.232
--dist=fedora-core-7

2. My configuration file contains this

install-method = debootstrap
size   = 4Gb      # Disk image size.
memory = 256Mb
swap   = 128Mb    # Swap size
fs     = ext3     # use the EXT3 filesystem for the disk image.
dist   = etch     # Default distribution to install.
image  = sparse   # Specify sparse vs. full disk images.
kernel      = /boot/vmlinuz-`uname -r`
initrd      = /boot/initrd.img-`uname -r`
arch=[i386|amd64]
mirror = http://172.25.149.2/iso/Fedora-7-i386/mount/images/xen/vmlinuz
mirror =
http://172.25.149.2/iso/Fedora-7-i386/mount/images/xen/initrd.img
ext3_options   = noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro
ext2_options   = noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro
xfs_options    = defaults
reiser_options = defaults
boot = 1
serial_device = tty1
disk_device = xvda #default

The log is

WARNING:  No gateway address specified!
WARNING:  No netmask address specified!
