Small (?) question

The only configuration file that could be breaking things would be
/etc/conf.modules which maintains a list of your modules and their
required aliases.

After rebuilding your kernel did you do a 'make modules ; make
modules_install'?  You would probably want to do that.

As root you could try running 'depmod' from the commandline, which is what
happens at boot to check your module dependencies.
