Dear Colleagues, I have faced this issue as well, and managed to find the root cause of this issue.
It seems that the culprit is caused by the systemd unit file, as systemd itself can not found the configured pid file and eventually kills dhcpcd. dhcpcd works just fine if you are starting it in foreground mode. To check where dhcpcd put its pidfile, run 'dhcpcd -P' in the cli. On my system it prints this: '/run/dhcpcd/pid' After changing the PIDFile stanza in the unit file from '/run/dhcpcd.pid' to '/run/dhcpcd/pid' and do the necessary 'systemctl daemon-reload' dance, dhcpcd starts just fine. Some troubling logs are still there, like: ps_dropprivs: chroot: /usr/lib/dhcpcd: Operation not permitted which might need further actions, but the basic functionality has been restored with this small change. Regards, János Pásztor
