The provided diff between the config options is already good, thanks.
Would you be able to trim that down to the actual required config
options to be enabled to make things work for you?
Additionally, can you please followup to this bugreport running the
bugscripts from reportbug when filling against the kernel (reportbug
kernel should help here aleady) to collect information abut your
System (lscpi output, dmesg, loaded moduels).
Please ideally provide as well a full boot log with your custom kernel
as you have it now and as well from the one with the Debian config.
Regards,
Salvatore
