I think you can hard set the address in uboot.. like ipaddr env, for uboot itself. In the
OS..so you set that like normal..
I thought the netconsole session died in there somewhere.

So at the moment I can't find the information on
doozan.com, but it is
there. For some reason cloud engines used a custom CRC algorithm to
verify the integrity of the uboot environment variables. This has not
been up streamed and is not in the version of uboot-utils that is
shipped with fedora. The update uboot provided by
doozan.com keeps
this CRC method intact, I believe as a compatibility reason.
This is 6 month old memory though. I just know that at the time I took
this very seriously and put the warning in the Fedora PogoPlug docs.
For now I am leaving it as is. I would LIKE to change the pogo's IP
address out of my dhcp range to a static area. But that would change
this netconsole setup, I think. And changing the dhcp settings will
change where the notebook ends up. I suppose I could set the notebook
and the pogo to get fixed addresses via dhcp from their MAC and move the
dhcp range for now. Sigh so much to do.
