Setting hostname error, at startup

I get this every time I boot, in the initrd console:

Setting hostname thereisnospoon:  [  OK  ]
ERROR: No arguments allowed with -i

I checked /etc/rc.sysinit and the only relevant thing it contains is this:

###
# Set the hostname.
update_boot_stage RChostname
action $"Setting hostname ${HOSTNAME}: " hostname ${HOSTNAME}
###

Nothing wrong with that AFAICT, so where exactly is this mysterious "-i"
flag coming from?

This problem has been around since FC5 was released, AFAIK.

So, how do I fix it?
