When compiling your own kernel, make sure to set
CONFIG_PACKET=y
CONFIG_FILTER=y
in your kernel's .config. This enables a raw socket that a dhcp
client needs to open.
See
socket (2) (PF_PACK and SOCK_PACK)
packet (7)
See also /usr/share/doc/dhcp-client/README.gz, section 5.1.2 - PROTOCOL
NOT CONFIGURED.
I think that will get your DHCP working.
