for the record the issue here was that my network snippet looked like

network --bootproto=static --device=eth0 --onboot=on --ip=$ip_address  
--netmask=$netmask --gateway=$gateway --nameserver=$nameserver 
--hostname=$hostname

and it should have been

network --bootproto=static --device=eth0 --onboot=on --ip=$ip_address  
--netmask=$subnet --gateway=$gateway --nameserver=$nameserver 
--hostname=$hostname

thanks
