No, not installed. I did a minimal installation of RH7.2 packages.

I did that but it only bring up lo and doesn't even try eth0.

I don't think it is a driver problem so much as an rpm is missing or 
something. The strange thing is that my custom kernel try to start eth0 
(and succeeds) while the RH kernel doesn't even try. And a 
/etc/init.d/network restart doesn't try for eth0 either.

The system doesn't seem to know that eth0 exists ...
