He did tell you to better choose the better fitting
/boot/.config-2.6.8-1.521 kernel config file because you did take the
one for the older 2.6.5 kernel.

So, when you start from scratch building your custom kernel, then start
editing and removing modules from bottom of the xconfig window. This
takes better care that you do not remove things on top which are needed
by others below.
