I would suspect that whilst you've recompiled the kernel, you either
didn't recompile the modules at the same time, or didn't install then
after doing so...

If so, go to /usr/src/linux (or wherever you put the kernel sources)
and type...

Q> make modules modules_install

...and that should fix it for you...

Best wishes from Riley.
