So, you installed the dhcp client? Did you configure the dhclient
service script? If the network interface is eth0, you'd need to have
/etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0/dhclient. Explained here:

The error with the lo device may be related (probably). If you can't
get the lo device up, then maybe you're missing parts of the
networking stack from the kernel. Look at the init.d/localnet script.
The two commands it's running are:

ip addr add 127.0.0.1/8 label lo dev lo
ip link set lo up

What happens when you run those? What happens if you run the following
command (replace eth0 with your device if it's different)?

ip link set eth0 up
