Can't activate e1000 NIC in Red Hat


I have a new Intel D865GBF Motherboard with a Gigabit NIC. I loaded Red Hat 8.0 from the disk (kernel 2.4.18-14), installed the NIC driver from the Intel website and all was well.

Then, I downloaded the kernel for 2.4.20 and compiled it. Now when I boot into the new kernel I get an error on boot that says "eth0 not present". When I try to activate it (using the KDE dialog box) it says it cannot activate the device. I tried installing the driver again, but it doesn't help. When I look at dmesg it shows that the driver was loaded, but the driver version number is older than the version I installed.

I can still boot into the old kernel and it works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
