I think this can also be caused by not following the build instructions 
in /usr/src/linux/README.  You need to do the following (minimally):

make mrproper
make xconfig | make menuconfig | make oldconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

There's also a make install for the kernel, but I never use it.  Check 
the above README file for more specifics.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
