However I guess it's because im using

this is not working. I guess I need to boot the kernel directly to pass
arguments, right?


When you use pygrub, this means that the grub config _inside_ of your
guest disk is used to boot the kernel _inside_ your guest disk.
So you have to set parameters there.
I don't know of pygub can be handed over some additional stuff that it
again hands over to the kernel booted with this grub config - read the
source :)

But nevertheless if I set dhcp = dhcp in the vm config file this
parameter is somehow passed to the kernel and to init:
[root@apache-2 ~]# cat /proc/1/environ
HOME=/TERM=linuxip=:1.2.3.4::::eth0:dhcpSELINUX_INIT=YES


Oh, really? Interesting!
Did you try the "bootargs" option, too? I never used it personally,
but it might be helping you?!
