Hi,
I'm running into the very same issue, also complicated by the fact that my home directory is on NFS.
I think that all the problems have one root cause: "service network start" returns before the network link is actually up. This causes the services immediately after it in boot sequence to fail, i.e. YP tries to bind to the server and fails. In old, bash-based, init system I would just put "sleep 30" into some script as a crude workaround, but no, they had to take it away from us.
