Paul, ummm... I'll have to investigate this more. I've been using IP addresses all along with kickstart and the only time I've had any problem is when I have ti use the e1000.ko driver. In this case, I get exactly the same symptoms you describe in your case. I wonder if it is inconsistent as to when this is called. I'll be investigating this over the weekend.
