CentOS - Aug 2005 - Install pauses at "Determining hostname and domain"

For some reason, CentOS 4.1 waits approximately 3-5 min at the
"Determining host name and domain" during kickstart.  RedHat 7.1,
RedHat 9.0, RedHat Enterprise 3.0, and even CentOS 4.0 do not have
this problem using the same kickstart server (my kickstart server is
configured to kick all of them).  Does anyone know why CentOS 4.1 is
particularly slow at this stage of kickstart?

Thanks for any help.

Likely that you have set obtain IP from dhcp on start and not set a
fixed IP. If at that stage it does not get IP allocation (absent dhcpd
server or no net) it waits.
As I said likely.
