With 2009-01-12 rawhide on x86_64 machine

Steps:

  1) PXE boot w/ cmdline:

       console=ttyS0,115200n81 lang=en_US.UTF-8 keymap=uk vnc method=http://..

  2) Network config screen appears, select DHCP

  3) After ~40s, fails with:

       Network Error

       There was an error configuring your network interface.

       Retry

  4) loader crashes with:

/sbin/loader(loaderSegvHandler+0x7e)[0x40965e]
/lib64/libc.so.6[0x7f254a7a7fe0]
/sbin/loader(main+0x19ca)[0x40b8ba]
