hm.. I'm wondering if your hitting something
with grub and the kernel i.g. I remember hitting something
similar because I had no bzimage just raw make install
vmlinuz(ended up having to upgrade to grub2 so that grub(*)
was able to read the extra bits and so forth or something
in that area).

Also hit another issue similar as well with
PCI_MMCONFIG [=y]
(but this could already be fixed).
