Fabien,

You need to check for a difference between the "SUSE install" and the Ghosted 
install in the file /etc/hostid

Also, there are actually three commands pertaining to hostid:

sethostid
gethostid
hostid
(all require superuser permissions)

Each has a man page, too. ;-)

Again, my first action would be to inspect what difference exists between 
the /etc/hostid file created during the SUSE install and the Ghosted 
installations.

I think I've run out of ideas, now. :-)

Good luck!

Carl
