Re: /etc/hosts not consulted

[Casey Boone <caseyboone@gmail.com>]

just on a hunch, try booting once with selinux disabled.  i have had a
hell of a time with dhcpd.conf being stated as nonexistant when it is
missing selinux tags, maybe your hosts file is missing the tags (i
honestly dont know the full scope of the default selinux profile,
because now i have the habit of disabling it during install as i
really dont think i need it)
