Have a look at this problem. Why does it only work after several tries?

Does your client has multiple network devices?
IMO it's in get-boot-info. there we call dhclient $netdevices. This
may cause you network setup to get faulty. Add a set -xv command into
this script, so you see what happens inside get-boot-info.
