(I am assuming that the kernel rebuild attempt was done before any 
update to the box.)

Hmmn, if you cant build GENERIC (or a duplicate of it), then there are
definatly (hardware ???) problems with the box. I am no expert on this
issue, but I cannot think of any other advise to offer.

Hopefully someone else can prove me wrong and come up with a solution.
