network problem while upgrading kernel



Hi!
I was trying to upgrade to a newer kernel in redhat 7.2 (at the beginning to 2.4.13 and l8er to 2.4.14).
The compiling went smoothly and everything works just fine, except of one thing:
The network scripts don't bring up the interfaces correctly.
what happens is that i get this error message:

Cannot send dump request: Connection refused

and then the network interfaces come up but without any IP and no entry in the routing table.

I have attached here a file with a demonstration of what happens while i try to start the network and what are the results.
(better look at it at this phase)

Now, after the network "came up" i can bring up an IP for the interfaces manually (and it works), and then i have two options:
1- add a default gateway by my self.
2- do "/etc/init.d/network start" and let it add my default gateway to the routing table.
but no matter what i will do - i can't add the route entry of the loopback network 
(127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo)
