It looks like you just need to remove the second subnet declaration  
and fix the first one by changing the first line to:

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.254.0 {

and then changing the subnet-mask option to 255.255.254.0;


all other options can pretty much stay the same.

This will allow DHCPD to startup since it will see a declaration for  
it's own subnet 192.168.0/24 I'm guessing.
