When the kernel was recompiled, did you ensure IP Aliasing support was
added in? If not, then there's the problem. Anyhow, if you are using
RedHat, then just modify the actual
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0* files.. :) copy ifcfg-eth0 to
ifcfg-eth0:1 and modify it appropriately.. that will solve any possible
arguments you are forgetting.. if it still doesn't bind the second ip
properly, I would definately take a look at recompiling the kernel, as
that is most likely your problem.
