pppoeconf failed with my new complied kernel

I have my system running very well before.

I compiled a new kernel from soucecode dowloaded from Kernel.org.

Everything goes well with the new kernel but it failed to configure the DSL network.

System with the new kernel has recognized eth0.

Quote:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13

when i use:
#pppoeconf
The first step detect eth0 successfully.
The second step failed and it said:

Sorry I scanned 1 interface but the Access Concentrator of your provider did not respond .Please check your network and Modem cables.Another reason for the scan failure may also be another running pppoe process which controls the Modem.

My old kernel still works perfect.
what can i do to get around it.
so frustrating...

Tks in advance .

Well there are module options that need to be set for pppoe to work have you checked to make sure that you did not miss these when configuring/compiling your new kernel?

Code:

grep -i ppp /boot/config-2.6.23
CONFIG_PPP=m
CONFIG_PPP_MULTILINK=y
CONFIG_PPP_FILTER=y
CONFIG_PPP_ASYNC=m
CONFIG_PPP_SYNC_TTY=m
CONFIG_PPP_DEFLATE=m
CONFIG_PPP_BSDCOMP=m
# CONFIG_PPP_MPPE is not set
CONFIG_PPPOE=m
CONFIG_PPPOATM=m
# CONFIG_PPPOL2TP is not set
