I just recompiled and reinstalled my kernel (2.0.33) with IP aliases
enabled, using kernel-package.  It seems to be working fine after I
did a "depmod -a" to update module dependencies.

psyche# depmod -a
psyche# modprobe ip_alias
psyche# lsmod

[etc.]

I don't actually have any other computers on the network ATM to test
it properly.

Did you use kernel-package to recompile and install?  Can you try
running "depmod -a"?
