Try again you forgot something when building the 2.6.22 kernel, boot to the older kernel and do;

make mrproper
make oldconfig
make menuconfig
make
make modules_install
make install

Spend the time needed to insure all your hardware and system modules and settings have support configured while using make menuconfig

Did you get any error/warning when you did 'make install' ?
