Attaching the .config file of the kernel you want to use would be most helpful in detecting the problem. I have compiled about 7 different kernel versions even the latest development-sources (2.6.0.pre1) which I use for a weel now and never had such problem. Some things you could try before sending the attachment is to run 'update-modules' after'make bzImage modules modules_install'. Also if you use lilo as your boot manager after building the kernel and copying the kernel to /boot(remember to mount it first!!!), you should edit /etc/lilo.conf and run lilo for it to see the change in the kernel. After that you usually reboot and you are ok. Good luck!
