Kernel Compilation 2.4.20 Problem

[Sudheesh Krishnankutty <sudheesh@softjin.com>]

Hi all,

I have  a redhat 7.2 system ( 2.4 kernel ).  I am trying to install kernel
2.4.20.  Since I wanted to enable netfilter, 

* I did a kernel recompilation on 2.4.20.  
* I selected network yes also.
* In network devices, I selected eepro, dlink ... network card support.  

But when I boot from the new kernel (2.4.20), my eth0 is missing.
ifconfig eth0 complains that device eth0 is not found.  
	- I have an ethernet card installed in my system
	- The old kernel recognizes that.

I did the following steps.
1. make mrproper
2. make distclean
3. make clean      ---- Hope no other cleaning options are available ---
4. make xconfig
5. make dep
6. make clean
7. make bzImage
8. make modules
9. make modules_install

I am able to boot from the new kernel.  But eth0 is missing.  What could be
the problem.

regards
Sudheesh
