What do you mean DHCP is working on the subnet otherwise?
Are you saying once you boot without networking, DHCP works?
This is just probably a race condition between getting networking
up and sending out a DHCP request. Can you put in some tracing
in the startup scripts?  Not sure which version of Xen SLES9 SP2
runs (was it 2.0.6?)
