I got the same error. It must have something to do with new options in
the 2.6.13 configuration. I copied my .config file from 2.6.12.5 and did
a 'make oldconfig'. There were some new acpi related options, including
something related to 'hotkey'. I have for the time being reverted to
kernel 2.6.12.5 until I have the time to compile 2.6.13 a bit more
systematically.

I'll post back if I figure something out.

Cheers, Leon.
