Did you install the kernel properly?
1) Once inside the kernel src directory, issue a "make config" or a "make
menuconfig" or a "make xconfig".
2) Choose all the requirements that you want.
3) Issue a "make" (Starts the compilation process", you can alternatively
issue a "make -j2" or something
similar to issue multiple jobs for the compilation process. (2
jobs/processor in this case).
4) make modules (To make all the modules)
5) make modules_install (To install all the modules)
6) make install (To actually install the new kernel).
These steps should get you a working kernel.
