Interesting problem that I'm not sure how to address:
When I boot my Fedora 11 box, dhcpd fails to start (it tries, but
instead of [OK] during bootup, the boot screen displays [FAILED].
The interesting thing is that once the computer is booted, I can login
as root and perform a 'service dhcpd start' and dhcpd starts right up
with no error messages.
dhcpd.conf:
$ cat /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

192.168.1.2 connects to my FiOS router and 10.0.0.1 serves the internal
network.
The system is running squid/dansguardian in a transparent proxy
configuration to provide an internet filter, and they start and run just
fine.
This is in /var/log/messages (sorry for the nast word wrap):
Dec 23 18:03:39 home dhcpd: No subnet declaration for eth1 (no IPv4
addresses).
Dec 23 18:03:39 home dhcpd: ** Ignoring requests on eth1. If this is

Any clues?
