You apparently have "kernel.sysrq = 1" in your /etc/sysctl.conf file,
but you did NOT build the kernel with ALT_SYSRQ enabled. Check the
.config file for your kernel build and see if you have
CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y
set. It's around line 2842 in the file. If you don't have that, then
delete the line from the /etc/sysctl.conf file. Unless you intend to
debug the kernel, you don't need it.
