Description of problem: firstboot produced an error while attempting to set date/time. Error appears to be related to DNS failure. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Installed phoebe (custom, everything) on a typical host, configured eth0 without DHCP, provided an IP address, gateway, bogus hostname (test4.linux.test) and a valid DNS server that doesn't know this hostname, domain, or even the IP address of the machine. Network connectivity to that DNS server is functional. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: After rebooting, the firstboot generated a message while attempting to set the date, but generated the error message (above) instead. Expected results: Additional info:
