Google groups says there may be an error in the xconfig files.  Try 
'make menuconfig'

You shouldn't have to change anything from your xconfig setup aside from
verifying that your reiserfs stuff is included properly.  All the kernel
config interfaces read from .config.

Oh, and if at any time you do a 'make mrproper', save .config first as
it will be erased.

Congratulations on taking the plunge!  It's not too bad is it?
