FC6: kickstart, static ip

Hi,

I do kickstart installations and try to assign a static ip
address to the clients:

network --device eth0 --hostname xx --ip xx.xx.xx.1
--bootproto static --nameserver xx.xx.xx.2 --gateway xx.xx.xx.3
--netmask 255.255.255.0 

After a successful installation process the clients come up and try to
reach a dhcp server (see dhcp discovers in a network trace). Since I
have no dhcp server in this network the clients come up without a
network connection. Seems like a bug to me (FC5 works as expected with
the same setup). Any hints?

Michael
