You apparently have "kernel.sysrq = 1" in your /etc/sysctl.conf file,
but you did NOT build the kernel with ALT_SYSRQ enabled.  Check the
.config file for your kernel build and see if you have 

	CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y

set.  It's around line 2842 in the file.  If you don't have that, then
delete the line from the /etc/sysctl.conf file.  Unless you intend to
debug the kernel, you don't need it.
