I've been wrestling with the same problem. It would work on static addresses, but if I tried the dhcp entry in /etc/network/interfaces eth0 would come up, but without an ipaddress. I finally looked at /var/log/syslog and it said to make sure that CONFIG_PACKET and CONFIG_FILTER are defined in the kernel.
A quick kernel rebuild solved the problem. Now I've got to try and figure out how to change from network to network. the man page on interfaces seems to have about 80% of the information you need to actually get it to work.
