Did you try running /sbin/SuSEconfig ?

Subject: [LINUX-390] Setting Hostname in SuSE Linux image on VM

Hi all,

Does anyone know the proper way to set the hostname in SuSE.  I had a
problem recently with the modprobe utility.  I was conversing with
Novell about the issue via email and after spending some time on the
problem (since this was just a test image), I was going to reinstall.  I
played with it a little longer and figured out when I compared the file
/sbin/modprobe to the same file on another image, they were different.
So I copied the file from the good image to the bad one.  Everything
works (or so it seems to so far), but at my prompt I have a hostname of
(none).  

For some reason I cannot set the hostname using the hostname command
either.  I have added it to the /etc/hosts file.  The hostname is
correct in the /etc/HOSTNAME file.  One thing I noticed is in the
/proc/sys/kernel/hostname file it says (none) for the hostname.  

I am not sure what else to check or change.  Anyone have any thoughts on
the issue?

Thanks,
