    check /var/log/messages when starting dhcp (with tail -f /var/log/messages) you'll see why it's failing. most likely it's going to be something obvious, but if you can't work it out, post the error message in your question, so everyone can see what's happening. you may also want to give the network configuration (/sbin/ip add), usual dhcp problems are related to wrong subnet definition etc.

    also, try running dhcpd -t to test your config files.
