eth0 loses IP address after OS initialization

[miro99_ale]

Hi all,
I need your help to solve a very annoying problem with my Raspberry PI.
I used to connect to it via SSH, forcing IP address 169.254.200.2 into the cmdline.txt file.

After some installation activities (apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, install ppp wvidal usbmodeswitch network-manager-openvpn & stuffs like this), I began to experience some troubles with my eth0 interface.
In particular, when I power up my Raspberry PI, the eth0 is correctly configured and the IP address assgined. Howerver, when I enter the OS (Kali Linux), open a terminal and launch "ifconfig" command, eth0 has no assigned IP address...

I presume something overwrites the configuration, but I have no clue of what can do this!

Any ideas?

I attach the logs coming from var/log/messages. Because of the forum's character-per-message limit, I deleted some rows from it.

Please let me know if there is any other evidence that could help you in understanding what's going on.

Regards
