What's the exact symptom?
System won't pickup classes defined cause it can't define system hostname. I noticed it just default sets it to "host"

So, after the install, before faireboot, the hostname command get's you a "host"? Or is the hostname set corectly in the shell

Usually I only see this, if my DHCP doesn't know the system and gives it a random ip from the pool.

the fai and distribution version yo are using?
FAI 3.2.8 June 15

On Etch?

I have no idea how i would set the hostname since i thought it would just know from DHCP + BIND

Right, it should!

Are you absolutely sure the host's mac and everything is correct in dhcp? Does it really get the intended IP or some random one?
