did you do a make menuconfig from scratch, or did you copy an old .config over from a prior release? It looks like the latter may have happened and your .config does not agree with what is actually in the source tree. Either that or you have a 2.6.19-r4 source tree thaqt is named 2.6.20 alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
