In some kernel releases that happens, don't know why.

One thing which may cause you trouble:
the .config for the kernel is build out of several files from the
scripts/config/linux-2.6/ directory, maybe one of the CPU related ones
causes you trouble. There are also some scripts which modify the .config,
check the scripts/prepare file.
