dhclient can't get ip address
I have two interfaces: eth0 and eth1. eth0 gets ip address upon bootup, but eth1 never gets ip address. Here's what I get with
sudo dhclient eth1

This looks like eth1 is not wired to a network with a DHCP server attached to it. You didn't say what you are trying to do, but if you are trying to share an Internet connection on eth0 with another network you probably want eth1 to have a static IP.
I just found out this is due to my host machine doesn't automatically set the DHCP for the HOST-Only network. one needs to manually configure that via virtualbox preference settings.
