when i was installing kernel .20 .
after make modules ,display nothing done for modules.
and in boot.msg      log messeges are
Delaying eth0 initialization
 kernel.syseq is an unknown key
SIOCADDRT:NETWORK IS UNREACHABLE
i have copied the old modules in /lib/modules/2.2.20
but the problem is still there
sounds like you're missing the NIC driver in the kernel.
I recommend to compile it into the kernel, and not load it as module.

This is dangereous, it might or might not work.
At least you have to load these modules with the -f option (which is not done in the init scripts).
