Any hints on this? ;)

PARAVIRT_GUEST doesn't enable anything by itself; it just makes other
config options appear. What other config options are you enabling?

That is, what's the diff between a working and a non-working .config?

I stand corrected. I meant to say CONFIG_PARAVIRT, not CONFIG_PARAVIRT_GUEST:
