Same problem? Guess not, post the failures.

Shit happens, we're here to debug it, but I don't see so big problems. That's
why we didn't fix it before shipping the releases.
I don't use often huge amounts of memory, but things work. However, the kernel
you built has all kinds of options built into, i.e. way too much.
I could also suspect you have also enabled CONFIG_3_LEVEL_PGTABLES, which is
not recommended. And/or CONFIG_SMP, also not recommended.
Try the binary kernels at my homepage (see signature), 2.6.13 and 2.6.14
available - they're built with reasonable configs.
Btw,
$ make defconfig ARCH=um
usually works well as a starting point.
