If you did make mrproper after setting the above via configuration,
you've likely tromped all over your /usr/src/linux/.config file. If so,
that might explain things.
The make mrproper step eliminates previously compiled stuff and settings.
It should be performed before make xconfig/menuconfig so that saved
settings stay saved.
One thing you could try is install/reinstall the source rpm, go into the
directory and do a make oldconfig. Then use the .config file created and
turn off a lot of the junk you don't need and turn on those you do.
Anything you don't know, leave it as-is. This has bailed me out a couple
of times, including tonight when I found I had a setting turned off that
I really needed.
