As far as i know nothing has changed in the kernel that effects DHCP,
i use it myself, what are you using dhcpd for, dhcpd is the server,
quite possably you only need to aquire an IP number for your own
machine, in that case the command should be dhclient <ifc> where ifc
is the interface name.
You need dhcp-2.0 whcih has everything you need included.
I have used all kernels from 2.2.5 up to 2.2.14pre9 and never had a
problem with dhcp. Check your .config file found in /usr/src/linux
and make sure you have the following, text taken from the README in
dhcp-2.0.tar.gz
One additional Linux 2.1/2.2 issue: if you get the following message,
it's because your kernel doesn't have the linux packetfilter or raw
packet socket configured:
Set CONFIG_PACKET=y and CONFIG_FILTER=y in your kernel configuration
That should get it all going for you.
O yes, what are the error messages in /var/log/messages thats where
the output of dhcp goes.

Thats included, they write it all to /var/log ;-)
O by the way cross posting is not a good idea.
