eth# aren't devices as in /dev/eth0, they're network interfaces.
Something changed in your new kernel, ie you forgot to compile in
networking support, ethernet, your card, whatever.  Fix this and you
will have working networking.  Those devices, however, don't exist --
there's no such thing as /dev/eth0.
