I am no expert, but...
Are you sure that you compile the correct driver for your
networking card into the new kernel? I get errors like
this after I have recompiled the kernel with the wrong
ethernet card driver. If you think you did this correctly,
did you compile the driver as a module? Are you sure that
it is loaded early enough in the boot process? (I usually
compile networking into the kernel - since memory is cheap.)
