Somehow your initrd seem to refuse to pick up the new kernel module.

Here's basically what I do:

- Test system is RHEL7

- git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git

- edit drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c

- make config; make -j42

- make install_modules && make install

- init 6

Alternatively, if you already did the above once:

- git am <from http://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg342490.html>

- make modules

- cp drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.ko \
  /lib/modules/4.2.0+/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c

- dracut -f --kver '4.2.0+'

- init 6
