If you do this
    cp /usr/src/linux-2.2.3/System.map /boot/System.map-2.2.3
you will have /boot/System.map-2.2.3, so you can
    cd /boot
    rm System.map
    ln -s System.map-2.2.3 System.map

The command line
    mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.1.img 2.2.1
should be
    mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.3.img 2.2.3
for version 2.2.3
(The example in the RedHat kernel update document is for ver 2.2.1.)

If you compile the ethernet drivers into the kernel by selecting
[Y] instead of [M], you need not load them as modules in conf.modules.

It seems that your new kernel can only detect the 3Com card but cannot
find the NE2000 card.  

To solve the problem, you may check if there is IRQ / IO conflict in your
system with the NE2000 card.

If not, try to specify the IRQ / IO_ADDR of the NE2000 
by adding

  append="linux eth0=0x300,5"

in the section of the new kernel in /etc/lilo.conf
where 0x300,5 is the IO address and IRQ of your NE2000 resp.
Of course, make sure you have selected [Y] for NE2000 and
then do 
  lilo -v 
again and re-boot.

Hope these all help.
Good luck! ^_^
