Bert, Some init script that is trying to execute brctl and causing your error. Finding that script can be... interesting. One thing you almost certainly want to check is to see if bridge.o is being loaded. Use lsmod as root to see if it's loaded. If it is loaded, then you almost certainly won't need to rebuild the kernel. If you don't see it loaded, try modprobe bridge and re-check with lsmod. If it loads, again, no kernel rebuild needed.
