I think you saw https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=970858

please try switching from the old network config to the dracut based
one, eg.
rd.znet=qeth,0.0.0800,0.0.0801,0.0.0802,layer2=0,portname=FOOBAR,portno=0
ip=192.168.100.100::192.168.100.1:24:fedora.example.com:eth0:none

as shown in the older release notes, "man dracut.cmdline" will describe
all the available options (same content on x86)
