[lug] network boot messages

[Hugh Brown]

The files of interest are /etc/sysconfig/network and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*

go look at them and see if anything strikes you as odd.

It looks as if the gateway ip address doesn't fall in the range that is
created by the ip address and the netmask.
