Are you sure you didn't miss enabling netfilter ? There's a
hard to see sub-menu specific to netfilter in which you have to
check which specific functions you want to enable. Using "make
menuconfig", it's not sufficient to just check "Network packet
filtering (replaces ipchains)", you have to jump some lines down
and go into "IP:  Netfilter Configuration".

Got bitten by that yesterday :-) If this is the case, when you
run iptables, it should complain about not being able to find
its modules, but maybe you don't see that if it's at boot-time.
