As you didn't have a way to custom-build your kernel before, the old kernel should still be the GENERIC one. Are you sure you didn't by accident copy the LINT config file ? I'd start by building a truly GENERIC kernel without your change and trying that one first. If this doesn't help, comment out every device entry in the config file that doesn't apply to your machine.
