Nope, nothing elese, it worked exactly as you described it!
(Though it took me some minutes to find the options in menuconfig).

Here it is happily up again:

root at tk71:~# uname -a
Linux tk71 3.2.0-00012-g980d683-dirty #31 Tue Feb 7 17:04:50 CET 2012
armv5tel GNU/Linux


Thanks a million!
Should we ever meet in person - I now officially owe you a beer (or
other drink at your choice :)

Apart from my joy - the basic reason for that change would be still
interesting? Does this only apply to Kirwoods or my special board?
