Probably need: options SYSVSHM

What you want to do when you build a custom kernel is:

# cp GENERIC MYKERN

and then comment out the bits you don't want. That way you can run a
diff on GENERIC & MYKERN to see the bits you've changed & might be
causing you problems.

I've commented the above config with the problems that jump out at me
but there could be other stuff missing.

You also didn't mention your uname -a
