See if there is a nameserver in your /etc/resolv.conf of 127.0.0.1. I'm seeing
this fairly routinely and it causes errors from various apps that use
gethostbyname (i.e. 'host <name>'). I can edit out the bogus nameserver entry
and things run fine until the next time I use DrakConnect to change something.
I also give zeroconf blank machine names - I don't know what zeroconf is and
don't think I want to know what it is - so I try to ignore it and give it zero
information... If this brand new thingy (zeroconf) is NOT optional then I need
to know what it is before I (mis)configure it - simply poping up a pane
prompting for a zeroconf hostname expecting users to know what it is begs for
many unneeded bug reports and unhappy users.

Not sure this is related to initscripts.
I installed 9.2 RC1 and updated to cooker 03/09. I connect to a LAN in my
university by DHCP. After installing, at boot, the step "Bringing up Eth0" was
working immediately.
I played around with Drakconnect and leaved machine names blank in both name and
zeroconf name to have default names.
Now, when booting, "Bringing up Eth0" pauses for 30 seconds before writing
[FAILED]. Surprisingly, after starting, network is working, and my DHCP server
has given a correct IP (as checked with ifconfig).
I guess there is a problem in the booting sequence that makes it prevent getting
DHCP information.
How can I check what happens. I'll try to reproduce it.
