Hey!... Samething over here...
I've been tweaking my kernel configuration (but forgot to save the original configuration file... Now, I only have the original kernel bzImage only!) and got the same trouble... But with an i810 audio onboard...
I wanted to remove most of the stuff my compu doesn't need so to have a smaller kernel...
The only way I could get back is by having the Original Kernel "Alternate Configuration File" for "make menuconfig"...
