A couple of things caught me out on a recent kernel build that may or may not be relevant to you. If you are building the kernel the "Debian way" using make-kpkg, you now have to take the additional step of: update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.30.4 after installing the kernel deb. Check that you have an initrd line in your grub menu.lst entry and that it points to something sensible. I also discovered that it helps to have the appropriate modules for the disc drives compiled in! Yes really! WRT to new config options I accepted the defaults which seems to work fine.
