Hi, how did you compile the kernel? Basically, it works the following: make menuconfig (config or xconfig will also work) make clean make dep make bzImage make modules_install <-- have you done this?
If you are not sure if your new kernel will work, make a copy of the modules: mv /lib/modules/2.2.17 /lib/modules/2.2.17.org before executing make modules_install. Greetings, Sebastiaan ps: you can still try running modules_install now and see if it works.
