Aitor, I have run into this very issue. Unfortunately I did not have the time to isolate the actual cause. I have a feeling it has to do with the make oldconfig though because when I compiled a kernel with a config from the make oldconfig, I would get this. Although it's a pain, remove the .config file and do a make menuconfig and re-enter your settings. That's what I did to fix it. and if you have time run a diff on the new .config with one that came from the make oldconfig. That was a little tedious for me.
