Herein lies the rub: you've simply copied over the line from the
GENERIC kernel, where the psm device is indeed disabled.  Look at the
line in your config file -- and remove the `disabled' keyword. :)

(You can also enable it by booting with -c, but it will be clobbered
next time you rebuild your kernel.)
