ip lost after kernel 2.4.22

I am a kernel compiling

.
I am using Debian 3, original kernel 2.2.20idepci, wish to have 2.4.22.

make menuconfig, config file base on /boot/config-2.2.20-idepci
make dep, bzImage, modules
copy kernel to boot
make modules_install
modify /etc/lilo.conf
run lilo
init 6
eth0 disappear~~~

make menuconfig, force realtek driver to be included in kernel (use Y, not M).
make dep, bzImage, modules
copy kernel to boot
make modules_install
run lilo
init 6
eth0 appear, no IP.

ifconfig in 2.4.22:

Code:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:FC:39:B1:22  
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

please help me to bring IP back to 2.4.22, thanks a lot.

The only thing I can say with the info you gave is that you can't use your 2.2 config on a 2.4 kernel.
Configure all the options of the 2.4 by hand, especially the networking ones in this case.
Maybe you'll find the error this way.

thx a lot!!!

but indeed, I really config the kernel by hand in the first time.
The result: VGA error, network not work, sometimes need to hard reboot.
I ask my linux friend and he advise me to use the 2.2.20 config file.
and VGA error is fixed after following that.

is here any kernel options which directly affect the ip? thanks.

There are many, it's not that easy to say.
It all depends what sort connection you're using.
When I compile a new kernel, I always go over all options.
You leanr a lot that way too.
Use common scence, don't enable stuff you don't need.
In doubt, enable it anyway, but that makes the kernel file bigger at the end.
This is a little hard at first, but you get used to it.
After that the fun begins and you could try to remove everything you really don't need
to make the kernel even smaller... and faster

Notice /var/log/ is full of usefull logfiles, maybe you should start there
