I put the diff between This is your problem right here, you used the wrong option for the job you were trying to do. Now get into your kernel source dir and 'make oldconfig' instead of 'make xconfig'. making xconfig just shows you the menu, it doesn't actively seek out and update the config, especially if you didn't change anything. make oldconfig parses in the old config and uses it as the default answers to a new 'make config', only asking you when there's an option not mentioned in your old .config.
