You need to add the line: options QUOTA to your kernel configuration. If this is the first time you've ever got your feet wet with kernel compilation, start off with something very close to GENERIC. In fact, copy GENERIC to YOURKERNCONF, edit YOURKERNCONF to change the 'ident' line so it reads: ident YOURKERNCONF and add the 'options QUOTA' line at the end of the big block of options stuff that follows next in the file. Then build yourself a kernel, install it and reboot, following the instructions in the Hadbook for the exact way to do that. With such a minimal change, you're pretty much assured of success. You can develop a more highly customized kernel with minimal risk of failure by making small incremental changes in this manner, at least until you run out of patience with repeatedly recompiling the kernel.
