I saw something similar recently as I've rolled my own RPMS based on
1275 & 1287 but adding inotify.  I found that just manually adding
CONFIG_INOTIFY=y to the kernel-*.config files (the x86 ones anyway) took
care of the issue.  If I copied one of the configs to .config and ran
'make oldconfig' on it, I did get prompted for quite a few options, such
as Processor type and the like.  Some of those options were of the
select from the list variety instead of Y/m/n style.  I'm not sure if
nonint_oldconfig can handle those types of options or not.
