I had this problem with static/fixed IPs due to the /proc/cmdline bug in kernel
2.4.18 and later. The huge kernel command line gets truncated - this seems to
happen in your case as well, if you compare the two ip= lines above. I posted a
fix in a recent post.

Make sure that the loopback device (lo) is enabled on 127.0.0.1 for portmap ->
check that ifconfig lists both 'eth0' and 'lo'.

Hope it helps,
