I'll have a go. Do what it says about /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server.
I'll make a guess that the ethernet interface(s) now have different
names and you need to modify the file to suit, or the file may even
have no interfaces listed. I'm assuming you've done the same in the
dhcpd.conf.
I've just hit the same thing, switching an obsolete drive into an old
machine to boot it for the last few times, and found that it insists on
calling the two ethernets eth2 and eth3, instead of 0 and 1 as in the
previous hardware. Yes, I know why, it's just a nuisance.
