What's the exact symptom?

the fai and distribution version yo are using?

cd or pxe install?

It sometimes happend, and there was some confusion in hostname handling 
in FAI in some versions - but if you system is iself set to some random 
hostname (things I had at time is "host", "debian" or completly empty)

Sure, you DNS and DHCP should be fully fcuntional, and you shuold be 
very sure that there is no secsond dhcp running...

Defintely no need for this - better debug as written above :)
