try 

make distclean

and start again :) 

(if that doesn't work, I dunno..I use 'make config' and just step through
everything...I'm boring, though)
(incidently, if you save off..I think it's .config .. from the directory
in another directory, and then after running 'make distclean' copy back
in, it gives you your already configured settings back.. at least with
make config it does)

Also, you might want to see if it's the SMP rule XOR the processor family
XOR both settings that fix the problem

Vinnie (who spends way too much time tweaking kernels, 'cos she likes
it...sicko :) )
