The above behaviour suggests that you might have forgotten to do a 'make oldconfig' at some stage ... also note that 'make config' and 'make menuconfig' might leave your .config files written slightly differently. They should have the same *contents*, ultimately, but perhaps laid out in a different way. Please persist in trying to get a Debian stock kernel working; this sounds like your best bet.
