When I reboot my FC5 machine, and when I run "service network restart," I get the following error message:Bringing up loopback interface: Determining IP information for lo... failed.

All I know for sure is that it slows down my boot process.Here're the contents of /etc/networking/devices/ifcfg-lo: DEVICE=lo IPADDR=127.0.0.1 NETMASK=255.0.0.0 NETWORK=127.0.0.0 BROADCAST=127.255.255.255 ONBOOT=yes NAME=loopback Here's what ifconfig says: Link encap:Local Loopback UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:45 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:45 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:13176 (12.8 KiB) TX bytes:13176 (12.8 KiB) Any pointers?
You probably have the BOOTP environment variable set somewhere. Grep for BOOTP in /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/*
You'll find several references to the BOOTP environment variables. You're looking for something that sets it.
