1) Linux must be compiled as user, not as root!
add a user to the src group, logut, login and you can compile in /usr/src
you need also fakeroot to compile Linux in that way
2) is not a good idea to set as M all. It is best to search what you have, search the module needed to be compiled into Linux and remove all the others ... if unsure leave the default
Learn about Linux
Download Linux
Get Linux help
There are a lot of error in the article

for do this you can read this: http://www.kroah.com/lkn
3) it is a very bad idea to remove SCSI support: SCSI is also used for USB device!
4) it is a very bad idea to uncheck "Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers"
that can show you a lot of interesting module that can be needed for new hardware and also for have new module versions
Before compiling Linux it is better to:
1) install a Linux compiled for your CPU
2) copy the /boot/config-... into /usr/src/linux
3) make oldconfing
It is beast to change the Linux configuration in more step and test that all work
