["Jeff Crow" <JCROW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

First a bit of background information.  I am auto-installing SuSE Linux
(multiple versions, SLES 8, 9.0, etc.) vi HTTP.  During the autoinstall
process I am using DHCP, ie when the machine first boots up it gets
assigned an address.  However, during install I assign the machine a
static ip address, which is set up in the configuration file. 
 
Now the problem.  After the sucessful completion of installation when I
log into the machine, the network interface is not configured with the
static IP address, but with a dynamic one.  I can see this through
ifconfig.  If I reboot the machine, then the static IP address gets
bound to the NIC and everything is fine.  I do have the 'Reboot after
Installation' set to true ( <reboot config:type="boolean">true</reboot>
).
 
Does anyone have an idea why this is happening and what I can do to
resolve this so that the machine has the correct static IP address after
installation?
 
Thank you very much,
 
Jeff Crow
