Hi,
before doing make, do make menuconfig or make xconfig and inspect the
relevant options. I usually collect  the chipset specs regarding the
mainboard CPU and expansion cards and go through documentation and
configuration (if needed). Mostly I just check that the drivers is enabled
and if it should be module or built in.

You may also try earlier kernel version - just look at the kernel changelog
or google about this problem - I don't know why your keyboard types tons of
'o'

regards
