Attached lzma-compressed .config with this letter.

Kirill@ advices me to insert some stub to success compile:

--- arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c-orig 2013-01-30 15:23:41.639993355 +0400
+++ arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c 2013-01-30 15:09:24.647993671 +0400

+void touch_softlockup_watchdog()
+{
+}
+
 static void scroll(void)
{
        int i;

And then really compile and boot. But... another problem arises.
On that motherboard 
(http://www.fastwel.com/products/433089/433197/433198/433223.html), by 
accident, soldered NAND-flash module and kernel pata driver don't 
recognize it (and it not needed now).
(pata_rdc, needed to built-in IDE interface, and it works with IDE).

But it try to request it, wait for ~30sec, request again, fail, and go 
on further booting.
Looks like:
Apr 11 18:18:49 vep01 kernel: [ 9.515104] ata1.01: CFA: 1024MB ATA Flash 
Disk, ADBA408J, max MWDMA2
...

And so.. if i not patch touch_softlockup_watchdog as above - it boot on 
this stage. If i patch it  (your patch + as above to compile) - it catch 
softlockup at requesting that flash and waiting (request flash going 
after usb hid load usually)

So I do not know to do with it, someone else will pay attention to it.
