I think the first thing you did wrong was to post that you'd done some "customizing" on this list. Now i'm sure you have good reasons, but honestly the usual reaction to that kind of thing is "don't talk to us until you've stopped customizing and tried it with GENERIC". Just a warning that you're likely to get quite badly shouted at, have been lurking here for a little while and honestly it happens WAY too often, and the reaction is always the same.
Have you tried it with GENERIC to see if the problem is still the same, or is there some massive problem which means you can't use GENERIC? Might be worth a try, although am sure someone who actually knows these things will spot what's wrong and tell you so.
