I had a similar problem, but with the pre-packaged kernel-image, I
fixed it adding (after a fine suggestion from someone on the list):
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.5-686
to the apropiate entry on lilo.conf, so my guess is that the compile
is either not generating this file (don't even know if it is supposed
to) or you have a wrong config line in lilo.conf.
BTW, maybe someone could help me with _my_ 2.4.5 kernel that being
that I get no network after booting with it, I haven't really looked
into it too thoroughly, but my guess is that it is probably a modules
issue. Any ideas?
