Send me your /usr/src/linux/.config

I suspect you configured the kernel incorrectly, or did not install your
kernel modules.  You will need to do these steps...

cd /usr/src/linus
make mrproper
make menuconfig
	# Be sure you know how to get stuff right
make dep
make zlilo
make modules
make modules_install

Then, boot up, and your initscripts should do a depmod -a for you.
Remember, if you muss up your configuration, you aren't gonna be able to
run effectively.

Also, be sure you understand lilo, because if you do it redhat's way, lilo
will expect an initrd image, and I've just shown you a basic modular setup
without the initrd, and you will have to edit your /etc/lilo.conf
accordingly.
