I have agpgart and intel-agp compiled in, don't use cpufreq, radeon, pcspkr,
speedstep or sonypi, so that leaves:

I was missing uhci-hcd in there. Let's see if it helps. Thanks.
As I mentioned somewhere in this thread, I actually have evdev & psmouse
compiled in now, too, so that might screw things up. Next time I do a kernel
compile, I'll definitely leave evdev & psmouse out, as it didn't help at all.
