Subject: ip_auto_config bug in 2.6.20-rc6

The following commandline:
 root=/dev/mtdblock6 rw rootfstype=jffs2 ip=192.168.1.10:::255.255.255.0:localhost.localdomain:eth1:off console=ttyS0,115200
makes ip_auto_config fall back to DHCP and complain "IP-Config: Incomplete network configuration information."
depending on if CONFIG_IP_PNP_DHCP is set or not.

The only way I can make ip_auto_config accept my IP config is to add an entry for the server IP:
ip=192.168.1.10:192.168.1.15::255.255.255.0:localhost.localdomain:eth1:off

I think this is a bug since I am not using a NFS root FS.
