That's great but your kernel includes an awful lot of useless kruft.  I 
suggest you take my .config and rebuild the rpm and then repost 
specifically for the m680x.  You may want to make changes as I haven't 
gotten everything to work yet but I've gotten rid of most of the 
irrelevant modules.

Thanks.
