Hi Tobias,
First, you haven't sent the correct .config file (this one is dated "Fri 
Mar 14 21:06:35 2008").

To fix your problem you just need to "make menuconfig" and change 
ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE from "n" to "".

Now the question is: how did you end up with this error? Is it just you 
who mistook while answering the questions of "make oldconfig" or did 
this "n" appeared automatically because was not ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT is set. 
In which case this is a bug in the kernel.
