Thanks to all who replied and offered suggestions. Although the suggestions themselves didn't solve the problem, they eventually led me to it by suggesting that the BIOS was indeed faulty.
It appears that it was turned on in my 2.2.18 kernel and it worked fine; but when I updated with oldconfig it brought the old settings across. I assumed that because the feature worked in the old kernel on that MoBo, it was okay and the board didn't have the listed chip sets anyway.
When at wits end, I disabled it anyway, just because it said "buggy BIOS".
That solved the problem. So I'm sorted.
Does anyone keep track of what MoBo/chipset and kernel major version combinations have finicky config requirements? I'd be happy to supply whatever info you need.
