Well, without looking at your kernel config file, I'd guess that you're
using the 1.3.2 config? If so, that's the problem. You need a config
binary which matches your kernel source, since the format of the kernel
config file has changed slightly since 1.3.x. You can either grab a copy
of the binary from the base.tgz set in the -current snapshot, or perhaps
even easier, -current source tarballs should include a config.tgz tarball
which contains the sources for config. Compile it and use it to config
the kernel config file.
I hope this helps.
Later.
