[ug-bosug] Network issue at startup..

[Ananth Shrinivas]

Do you have inetmenu installed on this machine ? Inetmenu lives 
peacefully in a non-networked sysidcfg. But if you have configured 
DHCP/Static or some naming at startup, then inetmenu *could* give this 
exact same error.

Remove the inetmenu package and reboot to see if that solves this problem.
