If you prefer to manually configure and compile a kernel from source code directly, keep these things in mind:

* You are touching the very low level aspects of a system, it is ''absolutely normal'' to have difficulties in properly setting up a kernel (in fact, configuring a Linux Kernel could be considered a bit of an ''art'')
* Take your time to investigate, it is a great occasion to Google a bit for some unknown notions (e.g. What is an ''I2C bus'' ? Hey, what is ''token ring'' ? What is a ''kernel module?'').
* When your first kernel configuration is done, you can reuse it as a basis of configuration
* In case of doubt, keep the suggested defaults
* If you want your system to boot, and your are not using an initrd, you'll need to build all boot-related filesystems and drivers ''into'' the kernel directly rather than as modules.
