DHCP failed with kernel 2.6.17.13

Heya, I have a dhcp problems with my slack 11.
I have a Router with dhcp enabled (ip range 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.199)
When using the 2.4 kernel I had no problems with the system it gets the ip and the subnet mask and everything is ok, but then I installed a 2.6.17.13 kernel from the /extra dir and now It fails to get anything. When starting the dhcpcd it just says:

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: /sbin/ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: /sbin/route add -net 127.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 lo
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1: /sbin/dhcpcd -d -t 60 eth0
eth0: no link during initialization
dhcpcd[2260]: broadcasting DHCP_DISCOVER
dhcpcd[2260]: timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response

BTW I haven't edited my dhcpd.conf is that it?
and how can I fix that? 10x in advance

I found where the error was I didn't edited the /etc/udev/rules.d/network-devices.rules
the system tries to assign the ip address to a different eth adapter, so when u open the file just remove the # from the line: " KERNEL=="eth?", SYSFS{address}==..... " u may have multiple lines with difrent mac addr remove the # from all of them

and reboot
