Hi,

When you compiled the kernel did you make sure that you selected all of 
the correct devices and selected pcmcia,etc in the config of the kernel? 
If you continue to have problems I would suggest booting from the old 
kernel and doing lsmod to get a list of modules to configure. Also you 
can try manually loading your modules using modprobe "modulename" as 
root from the command line. This should let you know if the module is in 
fact installed or if there are other problems loading the module.

Hope this helps,
kr
