Hi,

I had exactly the same problem when I did a reinstall, I used the kernel
".config" I got from the live CD (zcat /proc/config.gz > .config) as a
base when configuring the kernel. I solved it by not using that and
instead start from scratch without an initial ".config". I guess that
there were some options that was conflicting.
