There are two bugs that contribute to this. First there's a bug in  
Bootscripts that leaves files in /System/Variable/{run,lock}. This bug is  
fixed in cvs so with next release (or if you want to try the cvs snapshot)  
it will be fixed. The other bug is that the task in DHCPCD didn't remove  
the pid-file before trying to start dhcpcd. Either you just run 'Compile  
dhcpcd' to fetch and compile the latest revision of the recipe (which  
include a new task) or, if you already have dhcpcd 2.0.0 you could just  
get the new task by saving  
http://svn.gobolinux.org/recipes/trunk/DHCPCD/2.0.0/Resources/Tasks/DHCPNetworkInterface  
to /Programs/DHCPCD/Current/Resources/Tasks.

Any of the solutions above should fix the problem.
