In general, my advice is to try starting from the GENERIC kernel and making sure you can compile that first. Then you can make a few changes at a time and narrow the trouble down. In this case, a quick look showed me at least one thing that looks funny, though: you have both sc0 and vt0 enabled, which is surely one console driver too many. Be well.
