I don't know, but it happens on my machine too.  The easy workaround
is to find every line in /etc/rc.d/init.d/* like this:

    [ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0

and change it to this:

    [ "${NETWORKING}" = "no" ] && exit 0

I don't know why it isn't like that to start with (well, other than
the usual reason, that RH doesn't think)...  You could also try
forcing the environment variable NETWORKING to "yes" or something, but
that wouldn't change the underlying problem...
