[TriLUG] DHCP renewal problems

[Christopher L Merrill]

I've tried the Fedora 7 live CD in 2 SC1420s and a 600SC - doing a
network restart failed on all three with this message:
   Determining IP information for eth0... /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
   /ifup-eth: line 273: 3903 Terminated /sbin/dhclient ${DHCLIENTARGS}
   ${DEVICE} failed

Note that in all 3 cases, getting an address via DHCP worked fine
when Fedora booted.

So far, googling the above has not yielded anything helpful  :(
