Thanks. Disabling mouse does solve the problem.
However, now I'm facing another one:

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `arch/x86/pci/copci.o', needed by `arch/x86/pci/built-in.o'.  Stop.
make: *** [arch/x86/pci] Error 2

This fails with the default configuration too. Am I doing something wrong?
I don't suppose I can disable PCI, because it is needed for the virtual network adapter(s), right?
