I'm attempting to upgrade the kernel on an LFS box from 2.6.15 to 2.6.17.7 to get the bcm403 drivers. Upon reboot, I'm getting a kernel panic unless acpi=off is passed to the kernel. Does anyone have any pointers for me? I'm sure it's probably something stupid I've done. I've searched google / linuxquestions / usenet for related issues, but not come across any mention of acpi wrt 2.6.17. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Precise steps:
1. Download 2.6.17.7 from kernel.org
2. Extract in /usr/src
3. Copy .config from 2.6.15 to 2.6.17.7
4. make clean
5. make oldconfig
6. make && make modules_install && make install
7. shutdown -r now
8. Select test kernel [2.6.17.7] in grub - my installkernel creates a symlink for this
9. Kernel panic occurs in acpi-related section
10. Big Red Button
11. Select test kernel in grub, edit & add acpi=off option
12. Boots, but missing various "bits" e.g. no output from lspci/no dma via hdparm
Diff between 2.6.15 .config & 2.6.17.7 .config (full .config posted if needed, too long for post):

NB this is manually copied and probably misordered - it's transcribed right-to-left from top of monitor downwards; hopefully the relative offsets are enough for any kind person with more knowledge than me to be able to give me a pointer as to what I've done wrong.
