LINT is meant to contain *ALL* of the available options, but is not
meant to give you a runnable kernel.  Start with GENERIC and ADD/REMOVE
options from it based on LINT code is the best way.

If you start with GENERIC, you'll be much less likely to get a hosed up
kernel due to using some un-supported/un-tested feature.

Try starting over with GENERIC and see what it buys you.
