Hi Patrick,

having the same problem with an AMD desktop PC. But I found out: Booting 
to single user mode, then calling "/etc/init.d/network start" by hand
gets well an IP address by dhcp. But during normalboot sequences (to 
init mode 3 or 5), it will fail. Race condition problem?

I can confirm that 2.6.22.1-27.fc7 boots fine.
