You can try to clear out the dhcpd section in linuxconf. Its located
under Networking --> Boot Services. Or try disabling the dhcpd
linuxconf module. That is located under Control --> Control files and
systems --> Configure Linuxconf modules.
I have a dhcpd server running (not started by linuxconf), and when
linuxconf starts, it does not touch my dhcpd. I basically have
everything cleared out of the dhcpd linuxconf module.
Hope that helps :)
