It looks to me that you just added the options for the crypto stuff but did not go through all the other options that need to be adjusted to fit your box. The vanilla kernel tarball is not configured by any means. You have to go through all menus and select what you need. Or copy a working .config into the main directory and run make oldconfig. See the Kernel-HOWTO for more. If that is not the case and you successfully compiled kernels before, then it might be a good idea to tell us the exact commands you used and actions you did so we have a clue of where things could have gone wrong.
