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.
