Thank you for this report. I hope this will help us track down the
problem. 

could you please test the following:
1. If the af_packet kernel module is loaded. It is needed for dhcp and
should be loaded automatically.
2. If you can set up static networking (using netcfg-static or on the
console)
3. If dhcp works on your installed system you could try to figure out
the differences in the d-i setup and the installed system.
