newly built kernel fails to boot

Hello,

I've just had a go at configuring and rebuilding a kernel for my desktop
machine. I read the section in handbook, and skimmed over NOTES and the
GENERIC config. I then copied GENERIC to NETVISTA and commented out
drivers/devices that I didn't think were relevant to my hardware.
config(8) is happy with my file, and 'make buildkernel' and 'make
installkernel' proceed without any errors. So, I ran nextboot(8) and
rebooted, but the new kernel hangs right after the first line printed to
the console; the first portion of which is 'acpi.ko'. 

Below are the output from dmesg on GENERIC and my kernel config:
