This is WAY Off-Topic here, but you might want to clean up
your modules subdir, most probably found under
/lib/modules/`uname -r`
.
What happens is that all the modules (generated by the kernel,
by ftape, by xosview's memstat, by some supplier or vendor,
...) live there. Now you changed your kernel configuration,
that means some of them may no longer work ... at least the
position of symbols and dependencies have changed.
Thus clean them out, reinstall the kernel ones (make
install_modules) and all the other ones you need, then run
depmod -a
to regenerate the dependency file. Unless you missed some
neccessary module everything should work now at boot. Oh,
if your Linux uses an initrd/linuxrc to preload some modules,
you may have to regenerate that as well.
But, please, this ML is *not* the correct place for
administration questions as this, unless it's really related to
problems specific to tape storage units and drivers (including
the ftape module).
