Re: Kernel compile

did you also run the following commands while compiling the kernel

make modules
make modules_install

if you have then i think you have not included the appropriate support for
your ethernet card into the kernel. Boot your normal redhat kernel and
give the lsmod command to see all the loaded modules. 

You need to make sure that all these modules are also compiled with your
kernel.

As far as i know redhat doesn't create the config file for the
configuration that it installs. 

hope that helps..
