Do you think that choosing my own options from the start instead of using the
stock config would fix it? Thanks!

Hmmm Hard to say... I don't think so... But just like you, when I use
any of my custom kernels every now and then I get a Kudzu message that
states my printer was removed, however I keep the setttings, boot the
system and have been able to print whenever I want... So I wouldn't give
it too much attention... BTW I usually install the kernel like this:
cd /usr/src/linux-<version>
cp /boot/config-<latest_official_version> .config
make menuconfig && make modules modules_install install
bzImage is missing from above. Also install has to be performed as
root. So as root
# make menuconfig && make bzImage modules modules_install install
I haven't had *any* problems save for those occasional kudzu messages.
Yeah, all that I do as root, otherwise I couldn't wirte to the
linux-2.6.<insert_version_here> under /usr/src ;)
